                       Thursday, February 7, 2008

  Mr. DAVIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
memory of a great Kentuckian.
  Andrew ``Jack'' Fultz served Carter County for most of his life. He 
coached the Olive Hill High School basketball team from 1951 to 1968, 
leading the team to the State tournament in 1955, 1956 and 1959. He 
became a good friend and father-figure to many of his players and 
maintained that connection long after they were finished playing. Jack 
ended his career with an impressive win-loss record and was inducted 
into the Kentucky High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame.

  In 1983, Jack's 794-page book, A Comets' Tale, was published. The 
book chronicles the history of Olive Hill High School athletics and 
serves as a testament to his knowledge and love for the many students 
that he coached.
  Jack served the Carter County Board of Education for 60 years, 
working as a teacher, assistant principal, principal, assistant 
superintendent and supervisor. Though he loved coaching and working for 
the schools, his family always came first. Jack developed a deep faith 
in God and became an active member of the First Baptist Church in Olive 
Hill.
  I ask that today, as we pay tribute to Jack's extraordinary life of 
service that we send to Jean, Jack's wife of 60 years, and the rest of 
the Fultz family, our deepest condolences. Jack continues to be a role-
model for all of us and his memory will live on through his life's 
work.
