                  HONORING THE LIFE OF HARRY K. WEAVER

  (Mr. DUNN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of the late 
Harry K. Weaver of Live Oak, Florida. From a very young age, Mr. Weaver 
had an unwavering desire to serve others and make the world a better 
place.
  Mr. Weaver was born in 1929 in Bristol, Florida. Shortly after 
earning his degree at Florida State University, he enlisted in the 
United States Army.
  Following years of service to our country, he returned to Florida, 
where he would dedicate more than 33 years of his life first as the 
administrator, then the president of the Florida Sheriffs Youth 
Ranches, a program that has served over 150,000 children.
  Harry was also a founding member of the National Association of Homes 
for Children, where he served as its first president. His legacy will 
live on in Suwannee County, and the impact that he has made on the 
youth has left a lasting impression.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the life and legacy of Mr. 
Harry Weaver.
