                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 14, 2008

  Mr. LINCOLN DAVIS of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, this January, Bill 
Boss of Tullahoma, Tennessee, received the Tennessee Titans 2007 
Community Quarterback Award, and I rise today to congratulate his 
service to our community, our state, and our country.
  Nearly thirty years ago, Bill completed his service to our armed 
forces and retired as an officer of the United States Air Force. For 
Bill, his time as one of America's finest was only the beginning of a 
life dedicated to his community and the betterment of those around him.
  After retiring from the Air Force, Bill began a career as a research 
engineer for the University of Tennessee Space Institute. It was there 
that Bill met with friends and colleagues to discuss how they could use 
their scientific expertise to give young students in Coffee County, 
Tennessee, and across the state an opportunity to discover the sciences 
for themselves. Only seven years later, Boss's diligence proved 
successful and helped open the Tullahoma Hands-On Science Center.
  Today, 10,000 eager young learners visit the Hands-On Science Center 
every year as it continues to provide a forum that engages and 
enthralls the scientists of tomorrow. I commend Bill for his efforts, 
and proudly stand to congratulate him today for an award well earned in 
service to Coffee County students and all those aspiring scholars 
across the State of Tennessee.
