                     HONORING WILLIAM HERBERT HUNT

  (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 
William Herbert Hunt, who passed away at the age of 95.
  Herb was born in Arkansas before moving to Texas as a young child. He 
attended boarding school in Pennsylvania before earning a bachelor's 
degree in geology from Washington and Lee University.
  At university, Herb met his soulmate, Nancy Jane Broaddus. They were 
married for 72 years and raised a large, loving family.
  Herb joined the family oil business and had a successful career in 
oil and gas exploration where he contributed to discoveries and field 
developments. His success and expertise in the petroleum industry 
awarded him various seats on oil industry boards.
  Herb was President of the Boy Scouts of America Circle Ten Council 
and received awards for his service to youth. He also served on the 
Presbyterian Hospital Building Corporation and the Wadley Blood Bank 
board.
  Herb achieved legendary success in industry and business with 
extensive civic involvement and philanthropy. However, he found his 
greatest pride and joy in the family he and Nancy raised together.
