               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.

  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.
