                        Friday, January 29, 2010

  Ms. LORETTA SANCHEZ of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today in 
honor of Mr. Tom Danley who recently retired after a 42-year career 
with the Anaheim Union High School District.
  During that time, Coach Danley bettered the lives of thousands of 
students who knew him simply as ``Coach,'' and earned scores of honors 
for his service to students and the community.
  He coached varsity basketball at Katella High School for 33 years--
and his teams went to the California Interscholastic Federation 
playoffs in 31 of those 33 years.
  Coach Danley was named ``Winningest Basketball Coach in Orange 
County,'' and was honored for his lifetime coaching achievements by 
being inducted in the Southern California Basketball Coaches Hall of 
Fame and the CIF Hall of Fame.
  After his coaching career concluded, Coach Danley went on to 
establish a non-profit foundation that promotes after-school sports and 
activities for local youth.
  Thousands of young people have benefited, and will continue to 
benefit, from the foundation's work, and from Coach Danley's philosophy 
that ``Kids Come First.''
  I urge my colleagues to join me in honoring Coach Danley.
