                 COMMEMORATING THE LIFE OF BILL FOSTER

  (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 today to commemorate the 
life of Bill Foster.
  Bill was a longtime Savannah, Georgia, resident, having been born and 
raised in the area.
  After graduating from Armstrong College Night School, Bill served our 
Nation as a member of the Georgia Army National Guard. During this 
time, he was a commissioned officer in the 118th Field Artillery 
Battalion.
  Following service, Bill worked with Thomas and Hutton Engineering as 
a land surveyor. During his employment, he contributed to multiple 
landscape development projects. Noting his skills and strong work 
ethic, the company appointed Bill as chairman of the board of directors 
where he served until the time of his retirement in December of 1997.
  Bill embodied the characteristics of a true community man, having 
raised a wonderful family with his wife, Peggy, while actively 
participating in local church operations and other community 
committees.
  Bill will be remembered for his civic leadership, his community 
involvement, and his service to our Nation.
