                      SCOOTER CHAPMAN IS LEGENDARY

  (Mr. KILMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. KILMER. Mr. Speaker, the word ``legendary'' gets thrown around in 
this place a fair amount, but back in my hometown of Port Angeles, 
Washington, we have had the opportunity to see a local legend in action 
for seven decades.
  Scooter Chapman has been the voice of Port Angeles sports for 
decades, working at radio KONP since the 1950s. He has been a 
sportscaster, a referee, an umpire, but he has been more than that. He 
has been someone who cared about young people and their success. He has 
been someone who built pride in our community, and for every PA High 
Roughrider, pride in his or her school.
  Back in 1992 I had the honor of presenting him a letterman's jacket 
on behalf of our graduating class. In the decades since, he has racked 
up more honors, recognitions, and hall of fame entries than you could 
possibly count.
  Now, 30 years later, I am honored to recognize Scooter Chapman from 
the floor of the United States House of Representatives, as he prepares 
to sign off from KONP and hang up his microphone after 70 years at the 
station.
  Scooter Chapman has touched so many lives. He has made our community 
stronger. Mr. Speaker, he is, in a word, legendary.
