  Mr. ROE of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, today I recognize the 100th 
birthday of Mr. Earl Nidiffer. This significant milestone is certainly 
an incredible accomplishment.
  A graduate from East Tennessee State University in 1934, Earl went on 
to become a star baseball and basketball player for the Bucs in the 
early 1930's.
  His first job out of college was as the Sports Editor for the Johnson 
City Press. Earl later went on to work for the U.S. Postal Office in 
Johnson City. In addition, Earl is the oldest active member of Central 
Baptist Church in Johnson City.
  Madam Speaker, EArl Niddiffer's tenacity and service to East 
Tennessee is a beacon of hope to us all. I want to thank him for all he 
has done, and I wish Earl nothing but the very best.
  May the experience and wisdom Earl has attained and shared over the 
years encourage and teach those around him, lasting for generations to 
come.
