                          HONORING JOHN ADAMS

                                  _____
                                 

                          HON. NATHANIEL MORAN

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 6, 2026

  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor John Adams, chief 
meteorologist at KETK/FOX 51, who is celebrating 50 years in the 
broadcast meteorology industry.
  John is a native of East Texas, born and raised in Henderson. He 
attended the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, 
continued his studies at Sam Houston State University, and graduated 
from Texas A&M University in 1977 with a Bachelor of Science in 
meteorology.
  From there, John built a career spanning television and radio 
stations across our state, delivering the forecasts East Texas families 
have relied on for half a century--through calm mornings and severe 
storms alike.
  Today, John is back home, serving the community that raised him. 
There is something fitting about that: a career that started with a 
young man from Henderson watching the skies has come full circle, with 
that same man now giving East Texans the information they need to plan 
their days and protect their families.
  Fifty years is a long time to show up, night after night, and earn 
people's trust. John Adams has done that, and East Texas is better for 
it. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating John Adams on this 
milestone, and in thanking him for five decades of faithful service to 
the people of East Texas.
  May the years ahead be as blessed as the ones behind him.
