                      REMEMBERING DR. CLAY DOTSON

  (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 mourn the passing 
of Dr. Clay Dotson.
  Dr. Dotson, the former Young Harris academic dean and, at times, the 
interim president, spent over 40 years working in higher education. 
Even in retirement, he stayed involved through his work on this college 
board.
  He is noted for hiring most of the staff at Young Harris College as 
well as developing the faculty growth and development program, which 
helped the university grow enormously.
  Dr. Dotson's legacy to Young Harris College reaches beyond the 
college and into the community. He was an active member of the Towns 
County Lions Club, which created the Georgia Mountain Fair. He was also 
a member of the Sharp Memorial United Methodist Church and served on 
the board of directors for the Bank of Hiawassee.
  Dr. Dotson left a lasting impact on Young Harris College and Georgia 
as a whole. I extend my sympathies and prayers to Dr. Dotson's friends 
and family.
