  Mr. BALDERSON. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to rise today to pay 
tribute to the memory of a Zanesville, Ohio legend, Coach Ed Bowman.
  Born in 1928, Coach Bowman served in the U.S. Army during the Korean 
War and returned home to a 36-year career with the United States Postal 
Service as a beloved local mail carrier.
  Ed coached the St Thomas 7th and 8th Grade Boys Basketball for over 
40 years, mentoring hundreds--if not thousands--of players during his 
tenure.
  In recognition of his service, Coach Bowman was inducted into the 
Rosecrans Athletic Boosters Hall of Fame, Zanesville Daybreak Rotary 
Club Community Service Award in 2015 and is a Member of ``Forever Dads 
Legacy of Fatherhood'' Class of 2018.
  Coach Bowman leaves behind a lasting legacy in the Zanesville 
community.
