                     HONORING COACH TODD McDOUGALL

  (Mr. HECK of Washington asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HECK of Washington. My wife, Paula, and I live about 500 yards 
from Olympia High School and its baseball field, and every spring we 
wander over and watch the team play. For the past 20 years, it's been 
coached by Todd McDougall, and he's a great coach.
  Todd's just 42 years old. He's taught his entire career at Olympia 
High School. He is one of those--and we all know them--great teachers, 
as is his wife, Julie, a middle school science teacher.
  So you can imagine the community heartbreak a few weeks ago when he 
was diagnosed with glioblastoma grade 4 brain cancer. Coach McDougall 
could use our prayers right now, as could Julie, their 11-year-old 
daughter, Marlee, and their twin 9-year-old sons, Andrew and Dylan.
  I hope you'll find out more about this remarkable man at Friends for 
Todd McDougall on Facebook.
