                      IN RECOGNITION OF DALE DAVIS

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. BOB RILEY

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 25, 1999

  Mr. RILEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dale Davis of 
Delta, Alabama. Mr. Davis died of leukemia in July of this year, but 
his life is being celebrated on this date, October 25, 1999, at a 
meeting of the Clay County Hospital Board on which he served.
  Dale Davis lived all of his life in Alabama. As an adult, he worked 
as a well driller. However, the real measure of a man is the influence 
he has on others. Dale Davis' ``measure'' came from his faith in God 
and his community involvement (most notably his service on the Clay 
County, Alabama, Hospital Board) as well as his devotion to his wife 
and two children. He was well thought of by all who knew him as 
evidenced by this special recognition.
  Dale Davis' death at such a young age was tragic, but all who knew 
him rejoice in his life and offer our prayers and best wishes to his 
wife, son and daughter.
