                          HONORING HUGH BRADY

 Mr. CRAPO. Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate Mr. 
Hugh Brady of Boise Idaho who will be inducted into the Idaho High 
School Activities Hall of Fame on August 6th, 2003. In 1954 Mr. Brady 
started working at Idaho Sporting Goods, and he has been dedicated to 
helping young people in Idaho participate in athletics ever since. Mr. 
Brady, who later became the owner of the sporting goods store, has 
sponsored Little League baseball teams, football teams, basketball 
teams, soccer teams, softball teams, and bowling teams. He also took 
the time to coach many teams over the years.
  Mr. Brady has demonstrated extraordinary support for athletics and 
the youth of Idaho. There have been numerous instances when a student 
could not afford the cost of equipment to participate in a sport and 
Mr. Brady made sure that they got it. Mr. Brady, you make Idaho proud!
  For the past 4 years, Mr. Brady has battled lung cancer. My wife, 
Susan, and I along with many Idahoans will keep him in our thoughts and 
prayers.
