HONORING JOE SOUSA
(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 recognize and honor Joe Willie Sousa for being inducted into the Georgia Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
Joe is no stranger to the Georgia broadcasting awards scene, as he also earned the Best Pandemic Coverage Award. In the face of a public health crisis, Joe's knowledge and expertise helped educate listeners on issues of supreme importance to them. He developed this experience as an on-air radio personality for several stations over his four decades-long career.
His career began in the 1970s when he took a chance to get into broadcasting while working at a Winn-Dixie in Brunswick. He had planned to attend the University of Georgia after graduating high school but got his big break when he was introduced to Ed Wright and began working on a radio show from 7 to midnight.
After only a year of work, and showing off his natural talent, Joe had shown he was more than capable, and Wright offered him a spot on the morning show. The rest, as they say, is history.
Since that day, Joe has broadcast his personality across the airwaves, and we hope to continue to hear from him for years to come.
