[Congressional Record Volume 148, Number 69 (Friday, May 24, 2002)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E917] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] IN MEMORY OF MR. GEORGE TAGG ______ HON. JOHN S. TANNER of tennessee in the house of representatives Thursday, May 23, 2002 Mr. TANNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember a very dear friend of mine, Mr. George Canale Tagg, who passed away May 14th of this year. George's career is the perfect example of how hard work can pay off. Originally from Memphis, he started working at the Federal Express hub there, some 30 years ago. He stayed with FedEx over the years, eventually making his way here to Washington, where he became the company's managing director of Government Affairs. He retired and started his own firm, retaining FedEx as a client. Although he called Memphis home, he most recently resided in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and was very active in the community here. He was a communicant of the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Washington, a member of the Columbia Country Club and the University Club of Memphis. George was one of my best friends. He was a kind, gentle man who genuinely cared deeply about all his fellow human beings. This unique devotion to goodwill shone through to all who knew and worked with him. He made a huge and valuable contribution to our country in his all- too-short life. I know I will miss George Tagg tremendously, and I know his presence will be missed on Capitol Hill. ____________________
