       IN RECOGNITION OF THE LIFE OF MR. CLIFFORD ``PETE'' TOMLIN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 22, 2009

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I respectfully request the 
attention of the House to pay recognition to the memory of much-loved 
``Bulldog,'' Mr. Clifford ``Pete'' Tomlin.
  Mr. Tomlin died in September 2006 at the age of 42. He suffered from 
rheumatoid arthritis, but his ailment didn't stop him. Tomlin was named 
the Calhoun County's Outstanding Handicapped employee of the Year in 
1989. Tomlin served as the voice behind the Anniston High School 
Bulldogs including the varsity, junior varsity and junior high football 
games for both WHMA and WAMA radio stations in Anniston, Alabama.
  Although Mr. Tomlin is sorely missed, he would be proud today to know 
the Press Box at Chink-Lott Stadium of Anniston High School will now 
proudly bear his name. Mr. Tomlin will always be remembered as the 
voice behind the football games at his alma mater and this great honor 
will help keep his spirit alive.
