HONORING THE LIFE OF DR. DON HARP
(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 with a heavy heart to remember and honor Dr. Don Harp, who passed away on April 20 at the age of 82.
Dr. Harp was born in Inman, Georgia, where he had a humble upbringing as a farmer. He went on to become a baseball star and student leader at Young Harris College and Huntington College. He was also dedicated in his pursuit of ministry, going on to earn a doctorate from the McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago.
Dr. Harp's accolades are impressive, but his greatest legacy was his gift of connecting with people. He could always find good in any situation and gave unselfishly to his alma mater and friends.
As a husband, father, and grandfather, many say that his greatest love was his family, and those who knew him best know his greatest love was also the Lord.
Mr. Speaker, I had the honor and privilege of serving with Dr. Harp on the Young Harris College board of trustees. Don Harp loved Young Harris College, and Young Harris College loved Don Harp.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who knew him during this most difficult time.
