                         Tuesday, March 2, 2010

  Mr. JONES. Madam Speaker, I have the privilege of representing a 
district with a very unique culture. The people of eastern North 
Carolina have fought to preserve this culture that focuses on beach 
life and the traditions that go along with the coastal and coastal 
piedmont region.
  Beach Music and Shag Music is the very foundation for many of the 
traditions for the people who grew up in eastern North Carolina and 
this music remains a staple in the lives of my constituents to this 
day.
  My wife JoeAnne and I would like to congratulate Mr. Sid Pruitt, of 
Wilmington, NC, who is being recognized as the 2010 Inductee to the 
Beach Deejay Hall of Fame. I have known Sid for 15 years and have flown 
with him a number of times, as he is also a pilot. I have just learned 
of his other talent as a ``Beach Music'' deejay.
  Beach Deejay Hall of Fame inductees are to be of reputable character 
and conduct him/herself in a professional manner and I can attest to 
this with Sid Pruitt.
  Again, I would like to congratulate my friend, Mr. Sid Pruitt and his 
wife, Kathy, on his induction into the Beach Deejay Hall of Fame and 
thank him for upholding and preserving the traditions that are so dear 
to the people of eastern North Carolina.
