                         REMEMBERING ED ARNOLD

  (Mr. CORREA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the life and legacy 
of my very good friend, Ed Arnold. He was born in Texarkana, Arkansas, 
in 1939. He was a homeless teenager. He joined the Marines. As a 
marine, he was stationed in California where he got a taste of sunshine 
and decided to stay in the Golden State.
  He played football for Santa Ana College. He played for the Dons' 
1961 Eastern Conference championship team.
  At Santa Ana College is where he met the love of his life, Dixie. 
Dixie and Ed Arnold were voted Santa Ana College prom king and queen. 
Ed never forgot where he got his start, Santa Ana College.
  Santa Ana College gave him his education. Santa Ana College 
introduced him to the love of his life, Dixie.
  Ed Arnold today is and was Santa Ana College.
  My very good friend Ed Arnold, we will miss him, we love him, and we 
will never forget him and his contributions to our community.
