           REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF ARTHUR M. GIGNILLIAT, JR.

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise to today to remember the 
life of Arthur Gignilliat, Jr.
  Art was a man of the community and served in a myriad of ways. Art 
retired from Savannah Electric and Power Company as president and CEO 
after his remarkable 40-year career.
  He was also elected to serve for eight terms as chairman of the 
University System of Georgia Committee in the Georgia House of 
Representatives.
  Art was appointed to serve as chairman to the Board of Regents and 
Georgia Ports Authority and was a member of numerous other boards, 
including the Metropolitan Atlanta Olympic Games Authority.
  Local organizations that Art donated his time to include the Rotary 
Club of Savannah, Armstrong State College Foundation, Georgia 
International Maritime Trade Center Authority, and Bethesda Union 
Society.
  A devout member of First Presbyterian of Savannah for most of his 
life, Arthur also served as a deacon, elder, and Clerk of Session.
  He exemplified a life well lived and was best known for unwavering 
devotion to wife, Molly, their two children, and six grandchildren.
