                         TRIBUTE TO KEVIN GRAY

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to Kevin Gray of Canterbury, NH, for being honored as the 2000 
Sportswriter of the Year by the members of the National Sportscasters 
and Sportswriters Association.
  A native of Plymouth, NH, Kevin is a sports communications graduate 
of the University of New Hampshire. He has been employed at The Union 
Leader newspaper for over six years and is a columnist and feature 
writer for the newspaper. Kevin writes a popular weekly column for the 
Union Leader on the paper's ``Get Out'' page and is also a member of 
the Union Leader's motor sports coverage team for Winston Cup events at 
New Hampshire International Speedway.
  Kevin is known in high school and football circles in New Hampshire 
for his columns, ``High School Hoopla'' and ``Between the Lines''. He 
has covered notable assignments in the sports arena including the NCAA 
men's basketball tournament, the Winter X Games at Mount Snow, VT and 
regular coverage of Boston Red Sox home games.
  Active in community service, Kevin often speaks with English classes 
at journalism workshops throughout New Hampshire, ranging from middle 
school to college level audiences.
  Kevin and his wife, Tareah, reside in Canterbury, NH. It is an honor 
and a privilege to serve Kevin Gray in the United States Senate. I wish 
him much success in his future endeavors.
