                   HONORING GEORGE LEWIS ``BUD'' DYER

  (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 honor the life of 
George Lewis ``Bud'' Dyer. Bud passed away on Easter Sunday, surrounded 
by his loved ones.
  Born in 1939 in Daytona Beach, Florida, Bud's life of service began 
when he joined the Navy in 1961. After his military service ended in 
1969, Bud earned a degree from Florida State University.
  Bud and his wife, Woodie, moved their children to Young Harris, 
Georgia, where Bud served as admissions director for Young Harris 
College for over 30 years. Bud also was a decades-long, trusted adviser 
to the college president and the Kappa Tau Omega fraternity.
  So known and loved by the entire Young Harris community, he was 
widely referred to as ``Uncle Bud'' on campus.
  Beyond his remarkable career, Bud also served the community as the 
first fire chief of the Young Harris Volunteer Fire Department for over 
20 years.
  Bud was a dedicated member of Sharp Memorial United Methodist Church 
where he faithfully took on a variety of roles.
  My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, Woodie, his 4 children, 
and 10 grandchildren.
