           REMEMBERING THE LIFE OF MARVIN H. ``MARK'' CHESSER

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the life 
of Mr. Marvin H. ``Mark'' Chesser who passed away at the age of 78 on 
September 25, the mayor pro tem of Ludowici in Long County in the First 
Congressional District of Georgia.
  His friends and colleagues remember him as a valuable servant to the 
community who served tirelessly and did a great job. Even before 
becoming the mayor pro tem, Mr. Chesser spent countless hours dedicated 
to his local community.
  One important example of his work includes his time driving school 
busses for the district there. In addition, he was very active within 
his church, both in the men's ministry and driving the church van for 
Wednesday night activities.
  During his time as mayor pro tem, Mr. Chesser worked hard to promote 
policies that boosted the economy, and increased jobs in Ludowici. I am 
thankful that we had Mr. Chesser in the First Congressional District 
where his passion made our area a better place to live.
  Mr. Chesser's family and friends will be in my thoughts and prayers 
during this most difficult time.
