     RECOGNIZING ROSS HAYNES JR. FOR HIS ENDLESS COMMUNITY SERVICE

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 2, 2006

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend Ross Haynes Jr., 
from Fort Worth, Texas, in the heart of the 26th Congressional District 
of Texas, for his dedicated service to the community.
  Ross Haynes Jr. makes helping his community a high priority in his 
life. He has dedicated time to assisting others in the community, 
specifically, its youth. From sports to education on life, Ross Haynes 
Jr. has made a difference in our lives.
  From his own humble beginnings, Mr. Haynes has amassed great wealth 
in the form of friendship and encouragement in which he has inspired 
throughout his community. He has been involved with the lives of a 
great deal of Fort Worth's underprivileged youths through the Fort 
Worth Boys & Girls Club. Mr. Haynes effortlessly educates kids about 
the positive things to aspire for in life.
  In addition, he has fulfilled his dream to open his own business 
along with his wife, Delessa. This alone is a phenomenal achievement 
for one to accomplish. Mr. Haynes serves as a most honorable role model 
for many by continuing to strive for one's own personal goal.
  I am proud to represent Ross Haynes Jr.--a man who has given so much 
back to his community. Mr. Haynes's advice, council and support to the 
community, whether directly or indirectly, over the years, are 
certainly something for which to be thankful. I am grateful to 
represent such a wonderful citizen like Mr. Haynes.
