  Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend Dr.

years. Dr. Grant has been an educator for 35 years and for 25 years has

North.
  Dr. Grant is a graduate of the first class from North Shore High 
School, in Texas, and received his degree from San Jacinto College. Dr. 
Grant has been an active part of the North Channel Area chamber of 
Commerce for many years, where he was chairman of the board in 1997 and 
was selected board member of the year for 1995.
  Dr. Grant is a member of North Shore Rotary Club since 1987, serving 
as president for the 2002-03 year, named a Paul Harris fellow, and was

sponsor of San Jacinto College North Rotaract Club for 25 years; Rotary 
District 5890 Rotaract chair for seven years; serving on the Rotary

college coordinator for CDS International's German-American Youth 
Exchange Program for 24 years and has hosted, along with his wife, 
Gail, a German exchange student.
  And so it is with great pleasure that I recognize Dr. Charles Grant, 
for his service to San Jacinto College North and I congratulate him on 
his continued commitment to community service.
