                   IN RECOGNITION OF GEORGIA CARAWAY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 7, 2011

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor a very special 
constituent of the 26th District of Texas, Georgia Caraway. After 13 
years of service as the Executive Director of the Denton County 
Museums, Mrs. Caraway will retire later this month.
  As Executive Director, Mrs. Caraway's professionalism and dedication 
has greatly impacted her community; she has spent her career striving 
to preserve Denton County's history through projects such as the 
Courthouse-on-the-Square Museum and the establishment of Denton 
County's Historical Park. Mrs. Caraway believes her greatest 
accomplishment was the founding of the Denton County African American 
Museum. Through her astute leadership and cooperative fundraising 
efforts, she enabled the restoration of the county's museums and saved 
taxpayers thousands of dollars. In addition to her work with the 
museums, she has also helped complete a series of historical 
photography books that commemorate Denton County, and she hopes these 
achievements will encourage others to remember the county's origins and 
history.
  Mrs. Caraway has left a lasting legacy in Denton County through her 
work. I thank Mrs. Caraway for her service and am proud to represent 
her in Congress.
