               REMEMBERING FAMILY FRIEND DON LEEBERN, JR.

  (Mr. COLLINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COLLINS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember a close family 
friend, Don Leebern, Jr.
  He was 6'3'' in stature, but he was a whole lot larger than that in 
life. He was a Georgia football player, and he played in the AFL, but 
he was also a highly successful businessperson. In addition, he was 
also a person who gave back to society, his community, serving on 
boards and foundations.
  The last time I had dinner with Mr. Leebern, he grumbled about the 
fact that his wife was making him eat healthy and he was going to have 
to order off the healthy side of the menu. After he grumbled, he 
promptly ordered right.
  The reason I say that is because he dearly, dearly loved his family. 
A man who will be truly missed, Don Leebern, Jr., led a life well 
lived.
