[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 145 (1999), Part 6] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 8374] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]IN HONORING OF THE FLYERS ______ HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH of ohio in the house of representatives Tuesday, May 4, 1999 Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an active, strong, and vigorous group of senior citizens, the Flyers, in Lakewood, Ohio. This group of 15 senior citizens plays in local and national softball, basketball and volleyball leagues and tournaments. The group is a frequent participant in games at Elmwood Park in Rocky River and also plays in the Lakewood League. On a national scale, the Flyers have played in tournaments sponsored by Amateur Softball Association and other Senior organizations in St. Louis, Dallas and Mississippi. The group often holds fundraising events to raise the money to travel to different games across the country. The members of the group have paid their dues and worked hard lives, and they now are enjoying their retirement and doing exactly what they love to do. One of the group's members. Mr. Vern Carr, would even like to see the Flyers compete against teams in Europe someday. My fellow colleagues, please join me in saluting the Flyers and wishing them continued success, and most importantly a lot of fun, in their upcoming tournaments. ____________________
