  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Larry Peterson, of Creston, Iowa, for being selected as a 
member of the Creston High School Hall of Fame.
  Mr. Peterson has been writing for newspapers since the day he 
graduated from the University of Iowa in 1979. He has spent 30 years 
writing for the Creston News Advertiser, where he has served as sports 
editor, assistant editor, feature writer and sports writer. Larry has 
covered more than 3,000 high school games, numerous state championship 
teams and more than 100 individual champions during his time as a 
sports writer. Larry has also spent almost 16 years coaching teams in 
Creston throughout the years.
  Mr. Speaker, Larry's efforts embody the Iowa spirit and I am honored 
to represent him, and Iowans like him, in the United States Congress. I 
know that all of my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives will join me in congratulating Larry for his 
achievements and wish him nothing but continued success.
