Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 80th birthday of William Claude ``Bud'' Finley.

Bud was born on May 1, 1944, in rural Jacksonville, Alabama. He was the fifth child and the only son born to William Lee Claude Finley and Nile Borden Finley.

Bud was married to the late Barbara ``Bob'' Lipham Finley and was blessed with one daughter, Kristi. He also has a son-in-law, Danny Smith, two grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Bud worked for years in parts management at Ft. McClellan in Anniston, Alabama. He also served as a volunteer fireman for the Weaver Fire Department and a councilman for the City of Weaver.

Bud was a longtime member of Weaver First United Methodist Church and is an avid University of Alabama football fan.

Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing Bud Finley and thanking him for his service to his community and wishing him a happy 80th birthday.
