             REMEMBERING DAVIS COUNTY COACH DENNIS ANDERSON

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Madam Speaker, today I rise to remember the life 
of a beloved member of the Davis County community. Last Wednesday, Hall 
of Fame Davis County coach Dennis Anderson passed away after a battle 
struggling with stage IV terminal cancer.
  Dennis Anderson began his career in Davis County athletics in 1968 
when he started as a physical education teacher and varsity track 
coach. Under his 50 years of leadership, Mr. Anderson coached 22 State 
champions and was named Regional Coach of the Year in 1979, 1980, and 
1992 before being hired as the school's athletic director.
  After his retirement from Davis County Schools in 2000, Mr. Anderson 
spent 7 years as a zone chief at Iowa State track meets and was named 
Southeast Director of the Iowa Track Officials Association.
  Thank you, Dennis, for your longtime service to the Davis County 
community and for making Iowa a better place through being a mentor and 
role model for Iowa men and women.
