             HONORING THE LIFE AND MEMORY OF DANNY BURGESS

  (Mr. COMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COMER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and memory 
of my good friend Danny ``Flapper'' Burgess from my home area of Monroe 
County, Kentucky.
  Flapper was a larger-than-life figure. If you ever met Flapper 
Burgess, you left with a positive and memorable impression. He was an 
effective, old-school, local politician, who owned a little country 
store called Flapper's Market in Fountain Run, Kentucky. If you were a 
candidate for local office and wanted to carry the Fountain Run 
precinct, you had to have Flapper's support.
  Here is the last picture I have of Flapper and I in his store eating 
one of his signature baloney sandwiches.
  Flapper served many years on the Monroe County Fiscal Court 
representing the Gamaliel, White Oak Ridge, and Fountain Run precincts. 
Flapper truly was a man of the people.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives and all the people of 
south central Kentucky, I extend my deepest sympathies to the family of 
Danny ``Flapper'' Burgess.
