                           HON. JOHN BOOZMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 3, 2008

  Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise in recognition of the commitment 
and service, my friend Stanley Reed provides to Arkansas youth.
  Stanley is a leader in the state, serving as President of the 
Arkansas Farm Bureau, a former member of the Arkansas Board of 
Trustees, a board member of Baptist Health, and Simmons First National 
Corporation and a member of the Board of Advisors of the Arkansas World 
Trade Center and of the Brandon Burlsworth Foundation.
  His professional achievements are far reaching, and so are his 
accomplishments away from the Board Rooms. Stanley spends much of his 
time and energy being an example for Arkansas youths and helping them 
lead a better life.
  Stanley's life of service will be honored by Arkansas Governor Mike 
Beebe and the Arkansas Sheriffs' Youth Ranches, an organization that 
provides a stable living environment with responsible role models.
  Stanley has been a very good friend and was a teammate at the 
University of Arkansas. He has been blessed with a wonderful family, 
his wife Charlene, son Nathan and daughters Hailey and Anna.
  I have had the privilege to work with Stanley throughout my 
professional career. His dedication, persistence and leadership are all 
exemplary qualities. I appreciate his friendship and example. I am 
honored to have had the opportunity to have worked with such a great 
man, and thank him for his service.
