 CONGRATULATIONS TO DANNY BROWN, THE 2002 KANSAS PRINCIPAL OF THE YEAR

  (Mr. RYUN of Kansas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. RYUN of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
2002 Kansas Principal of the Year, Danny Brown. Mr. Brown currently 
serves at the Fort Scott High School in Fort Scott, Kansas. For almost 
3 decades Danny Brown has demonstrated outstanding educational 
leadership and has humbly served his community and students.
  In a letter recommending Brown for the honor, an associate wrote: 
``Danny's contributions to this community, to the school district and, 
most of all, to the students are immeasurable.''
  I, for one, am heartened to hear stories of educators like Danny 
Brown who live a life dedicated to serving their communities and 
helping students reach their dreams.
  As Oswald Spengler once said, ``The influence of a genuine educator 
lies in what he is rather than what he says.''
  I am pleased that Mr. Brown is being properly recognized for his 
exceptional performance and character, and I want to add my 
congratulations to this outstanding educator.
