                        Thursday, April 9, 2026

  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my friend Henry 
Turley and specifically commend his dedication to Rhodes College, which 
is recognizing its 100th year in Memphis and showcasing Mr. Turley's 
commitment to its continued excellence.
  Henry and his late wife, Lynne, created the Turley Memphis Center for 
Community Engagement, conceived in 2012 as a hub for the college's 
community outreach programs and formalized as the Lynne and Henry 
Turley Center in 2018. They recognized Rhodes' commitment to Memphis 
and its neighbors and wanted its students to be involved in Memphis and 
its ongoing progress. Rhodes is now recognized nationally as one of the 
finest examples of a college committed to its community. The center has 
also sponsored guest lectures with nationally recognized experts and 
hosted a series of community events. That work will be celebrated at an 
April 15th Lawn Party with friends, community partners and alumni.
  Henry Turley's remarkable contributions to his community are 
extraordinary and his work with Rhodes will be remembered for 
generations. I congratulate my friend for this much-deserved 
recognition and appreciate his continued support and thoughtfulness.
