                        TRIBUTE TO LLOYD REDMAN

 Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Lloyd Redman on the occasion of a special recognition of his commitment 
to Kentucky's youth.
  Lloyd Redman has led a life that is certainly worthy of recognition. 
First and foremost, Lloyd is a dedicated family man. He and his wife of 
55 years, Loretta, are the proud parents of two children, who have 
blessed them with three grandchildren and one great grandchild.
  Lloyd also is a tried and true Kentuckian. He grew up in Kentucky and 
played basketball and football at Okalona High School. After high 
school Lloyd played football for Western Kentucky University and the 
University of Louisville, where he received a bachelor of science 
degree in 1949, and a masters degree in 1955. Lloyd's football talent 
also earned him a place on the 1944 U.S. Navy team. Lloyd was skilled 
at baseball too, and served as captain of the U of L baseball team in 
1949. He gave a great deal of his time and energy playing and coaching 
sports in Kentucky. Lloyd has coached at Okalona High School, Southern 
High School, and Durrett High School and was named ``Jefferson County 
Football Coach of the Year'' in 1959. He also coached football, 
basketball and softball at The Cabbage Patch for eleven years. Lloyd 
currently works with the Cabbage Patch Settlement House in Louisville 
to help provide athletic, arts and educational programs for children.
  While Lloyd obviously loves youth athletics, he is equally as 
concerned for the educational well-being of Kentucky's children. He 
received administration certification from Eastern Kentucky University 
in 1962, and served in numerous administrative positions within the 
Jefferson County school system including director of adult education 
and administrative problems, assistant and associate superintendent, 
and he currently serves as a consultant at the Kentucky State 
Department of Education.
  Lloyd Redman has had a positive influence on Kentucky's youth 
throughout his many years as administrator, coach, and mentor--and I am 
certain his concern for and service to the community and its children 
will not end here. Lloyd, on behalf of my colleagues and myself, thank 
you for your service and congratulations on your worthy 
efforts.
