                        Tuesday, April 19, 2005

  Mr. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of 
Daniel Kemp Nall of Sheridan. Dan passed away on Friday, March 4th at 
the age of 85. I wish to recognize his life and achievements.
  Dan was born on April 28, 1919 in Sheridan, and remained a citizen of 
Grant County for almost his entire life. Dan attended Henderson State 
Teachers College, and received bachelor degrees in history and physical 
education. Dan also earned a master's degree in History from the 
University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
  Dan served his country during World War II in the United States Navy. 
Upon returning to Sheridan, his career path took him to education and 
coaching, including tenures at Hendrix College, Morrilton High School, 
and Sheridan High School.
  After Dan retired from education, he was extremely active in the 
Democratic Party of Arkansas and Senior Democrats of Arkansas. Dan 
served as Sergeant-of-Arms in the Arkansas State Senate during my time 
there, where I had the privilege of knowing Dan and counting him as a 
friend.
  Dan's commitment to the Sheridan community and to our state did not 
stop with public education. He served as President of the Arkansas 
Athletic Association and as Postmaster of Sheridan. He also worked as a 
member of the Grant County Museum Board of Directors in its founding 
and was named Board Member Emeritus in February 2004.
  Daniel Kemp Nall will forever be remembered as a terrific husband, 
father, grandfather, and great grandfather. Dan's wife, Muriel Cole 
Slaughter, passed away in 2001. My deepest condolences go out to Dan's 
son, Judge Kemp Nall and his wife Denice, his daughters Susan Nall 
Perry, and Dian Nall Taylor and her husband Tommy Taylor, his 10 
grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. He will be missed by his 
family and all those who knew him and thought of him as a friend. I 
will continue to keep Dan and his family in my thoughts and prayers.
