                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 12, 2006

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. Chuck 
Ekleberry of Hickory Creek, Texas for publishing his first book of 
poetry titled ``Out of the Knight''. Mr. Ekleberry, an engineer by 
profession, started writing poetry 4 years ago and has since written 
over 200 poems.
  With the help of his mother and friends, Mr. Ekleberry was able to 
assemble the collection of poems for the book. His ability to take a 
hobby and turn it into a work such as ``Out of the Knight'' shows his 
passion and dedication to literature.
  I extend my sincere congratulations to Mr. Chuck Ekleberry on his 
first publication of poems. His contribution to the arts community of 
Denton County should serve as an inspiration to us all. I am honored to 
represent Mr. Ekleberry in Congress.
