                      RECOGNIZING JERRY MONTGOMERY

                   HON. CHARLES W. ``CHIP'' PICKERING

                             of mississippi

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 30, 2001

  Mr. PICKERING. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute today to 
Jerry Montgomery--a man who has meant so much to so many people in my 
home state of Mississippi through his service as faculty advisor for 
the Sigma Chi Fraternity at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) 
for the past 15 years. I'm proud to call Jerry a friend and even more 
proud that he's part of our family as my brother-in-law.
  Despite Jerry's extremely busy schedule as a husband, a father, and 
the coach for the women's tennis team at Ole Miss, he always finds time 
to fill his role as faculty advisor to Sigma Chi. As a Sigma Chi, I am 
personally grateful for Jerry's leadership and the guidance he offers 
the young men of the fraternity. Jerry serves as a positive role model 
and a good example for the young men of Sigma Chi to look up to for 
advice and guidance.
  The ``Standard'' on which Sigma Chi was founded requires its members 
to be: A man of good character; A student of fair ability; With 
ambitious purposes; A congenial disposition; Possessed of good morals; 
Having a high sense of honor and a deep sense of personal 
responsibility. These attributes certainly describe Jerry and the way 
he sets an example for the men of Sigma Chi.
  I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to my 
friend, my brother-in-law, and a true friend to Sigma Chi, Jerry 
Montgomery.
