HONORING THE LIFE OF DANIEL HOWARD BRADLEY
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from
Georgia (Mr. Carter) for 5 minutes.
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mourn the loss of
Daniel Howard Bradley of Savannah, Georgia.
Mr. Bradley sadly passed away on December 3 in the presence of his
family. Born at the old Telfair Hospital in Savannah, Mr. Bradley was a
lifelong resident of Savannah. He attended local schools and earned his
degree in industrial management from the Georgia Institute of
Technology.
Mr. Bradley was an extremely hardworking individual, serving as the
president of the Dixie Plywood Company for over 56 years.
Mr. Bradley also remained active in the Georgia Tech community for
many years. He served as a trustee of the Georgia Tech National Alumni
Association, a member of the Georgia Tech National Advisory Board, and
a member of the Georgia Tech Regional Engineering Program, and several
others.
For over 76 years, Mr. Bradley was an active member of the Wesley
Monumental United Methodist Church, serving on several boards within
the community. It is here that I met Mr. Bradley, and I will tell you,
he was one of the finest men I have ever met. He also served on the
advisory board of the Salvation Army for two decades.
Mr. Bradley was a generous, faithful man, known by all for his
integrity and loyalty. He will be greatly missed, and my heart goes out
to his friends and family.
Congratulating Effingham County Middle School Students
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate five
Effingham County Middle School students on their selection for the
REACH Georgia scholarship.
[[Page H6812]]
The recipients of this scholarship are Grace Mouhon of Effingham
County Middle School, Armon'e Burt and Kellan Langford of Ebenezer
Middle School, and Joel Barrera and Ryder English of South Effingham
Middle School.
At the end of November, all five students signed their REACH Georgia
scholarship contracts alongside each other. Due to their stellar
academic performance and outstanding attendance and behavior, these
students will graduate high school with a $10,000 scholarship that is
eligible for use at HOPE institutions.
Each student must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5, work with mentors,
and remain drug- and alcohol-free throughout high school.
Our district is incredibly proud of these hardworking, accomplished
students. I look forward to the opportunity to follow the future
successes of these students, and I wish them the very best along their
academic journey.
Honoring Dan Wright
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mourn the loss of
Dan Wright.
Mr. Wright, nicknamed ``Skip,'' acquired the name from his father,
who enlisted in the Army as a captain after his graduation from dental
school.
Mr. Wright was an excellent athlete throughout his life. He showcased
his athletic prowess as an outstanding football player and a black-
diamond skier.
Mr. Wright attended school at the Citadel prior to being drafted into
the Vietnam war, where he received a Bronze Star for his service to his
beloved country.
Upon his return home, Mr. Wright finished school at East Carolina
State with a degree in business and finance, which propelled him into
his impressive career as a mortgage banker in both Atlanta and St.
Simons until his retirement. He was a dedicated member of both Christ
Church Frederica and his cherished golf club, Sea Island.
Mr. Wright was preceded in death by his two sons, Dan and Thomas, and
his parents, Dr. and Mrs. Wright.
Mr. Wright will be greatly missed by his friends, family, and golf
partners. My heart goes out to all of them.
