  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the 
lives of Mr. Hugo Parkman and Mrs. Doris Parkman.
  Residents of Palmetto, Georgia, Mr. Parkman passed away on November 
20, 2012, and Mrs. Parkman passed away last Sunday, February 7, 2016.
  Mr. Parkman served on the USS Finback during World War II and became 
bunkmates with future President George H.W. Bush after President Bush's 
plane was shot down over the Pacific. Mrs. Parkman was the first member 
of her family to attend college, enrolling in Alabama College. She then 
went to missionary school in Kentucky to study religious education 
where she met her life-long partner, Hugo.
  Together, Mr. and Mrs. Parkman served as Southern Baptist 
missionaries in Makati, Philippines, establishing a church and serving 
everywhere they went.
  Throughout their travels, family always came first for Mr. and Mrs. 
Parkman who are survived by their six children, 15 grandchildren, and 
ten great-grandchildren. They will truly be missed.
