                        RECOGNIZING MURRAY POOLE

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. 
Murray Poole, who is retiring after 54 years of covering local sports 
in the news in towns across coastal Georgia.
  The long-time sports editor of The Brunswick News, Mr. Poole was 
known throughout the Golden Isles as both fair and supportive of all 
the local players and the teams. Mr. Poole simply never wrote a bad 
word about anyone.
  Mr. Poole interviewed nearly every major sports star who came through 
the Golden Isles, including Mickey Mantle, Davis Love III, and Adam 
Wainwright, and made it a point to ask them only feel-good questions.
  But more importantly, Mr. Poole gave his undivided attention to local 
sporting events. Murray would highlight everyone from the high school 
region championship golf team to the second-string freshman football 
player.
  Mr. Poole's journalism in the Golden Isles is simply irreplaceable.
  Mr. Speaker, may Mr. Poole enjoy his retirement. We thank him for his 
service to our community.
