                       IN HONOR OF HUFF-N-PUFFERS

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 24, 1999

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the participants in 
the Huff-N-Puffers senior citizen baseball league.
  This is a wonderful organization that provides and promotes physical 
activity for seniors. This is a great way for seniors to get together 
to socialize and partake in aerobic activities. The Huff-N-Puffers is 
open to anybody who is over the age of 65. This program was started in 
1985 and has more than doubled in size since that time.
  These senior citizens participate in many games and tournaments 
around the country as well as a championship tournament at the end of 
each season. They have a very busy schedule consisting of around 20 
games against other teams in their league. These seniors are an 
inspiration to us all by getting the best out of what life has to 
offer.
  My fellow colleagues please join me in honoring the dedication of 
these outstanding athletes.
