COMMEMORATING VERSAILLES 

HIGH SCHOOL’S 1962 FOOTBALL 

TEAM ON THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP 

HON. BEN CHANDLER 

OF KENTUCKY

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, September 13, 2012 

Mr. CHANDLER. Mr. Speaker, today it is 

with great pride that I commemorate the 50th 

anniversary of Versailles High School’s 1962 

Kentucky state football championship. This 

commemoration has a special significance to 

me as my late grandfather, former Governor of 

Kentucky A.B. ‘‘Happy’’ Chandler, was on the 

sidelines cheering the football team to victory 

in the county where I was later born and 

raised. 

The 1962 Yellow Jackets were one of the 

smallest football teams ever to win a Kentucky 

state championship, but what they may have 

lacked in size they made up for in their sheer 

determination and athletic skill. Led by the 

1962 Central Kentucky Conference Coach of 

the Year John Snowden, this group of gritty 

underdogs confounded the experts by winning 

game after game and defying expectations. 

On the day of the state championship game, 

more than half of the population of Woodford 

County was in attendance to root on the fan 

favorite Yellow Jackets. On that cold, windy 

Thanksgiving Day, the fans watched their Yellow Jackets overcome a bigger, stronger, and 

heavily favored opponent. The Yellow Jackets 

emerged victorious and claimed their memorable 1962 Kentucky state championship trophy. 

Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor to have this 

momentous anniversary celebrated in my 

home district. The ‘‘Boys of ’62’’ truly represent Kentucky’s passion and dedication to 

the game of football. This group of individuals 

will always be remembered as one of Kentucky’s finest, and we will continue to celebrate their accomplishments for years to 

come. 

TRIBUTE TO CARLI LLOYD AND 

MATTHEW EMMONS 

HON. JON RUNYAN OF NEW JERSEY

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, September 13, 2012 

Mr. RUNYAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 

pay tribute to two New Jersey natives, Carli 

Lloyd and Matthew Emmons. Carli and Matthew both competed in the 2012 London 

Olympic Games and proudly represented the 

United States of America. 

Carli Lloyd, who currently resides in Mt. 

Laurel, New Jersey, graduated from Rutgers 

University in 2005 with a degree in exercise 

science and sports studies. Carli was a 

midfielder for the United States Women’s Soccer Team in 2008 and 2012, both of which 

won gold medals. In addition, Carli is a twotime FIFA Women’s World Cup Team member, a three-time NCAA All-American, and in 

2008 won the U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of 

the Year Award. 

Matthew Emmons, born in Mount Holly, 

New Jersey, graduated in 2003 with an accounting degree from the University of AlaskaFairbanks. He is a three-time Olympian, having competed in the 2004, 2008, and most recently, the 2012 Olympic Games. In London, 

Matthew placed 35th in the 10m air rifle and 

captured the bronze medal in the men’s threeposition rifle. Another outstanding highlight in 

Matthew’s career came in 2002 when he 

brought home the gold in the men’s 50-meter 

rifle prone event at the 2002 World Championships. 

I congratulate Carli and Matthew on all of 

their achievements and am so proud of them 

for representing New Jersey and the United 

States in the 2012 Olympic Games. I urge my 

colleagues to join me in recognizing these fantastic American athletes.

HONORING FRED BERRY 

HON. JOHN F. TIERNEY OF MASSACHUSETTS

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, September 13, 2012 

Mr. TIERNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 

pay tribute to a gentleman and true public 

servant: Massachusetts State Senate Majority 

Leader Frederick E. Berry. Several months 

ago, Senator Berry announced that he would 

be retiring from the Massachusetts Senate 

after 30 years of service. He will be sorely 

missed. 

Fred Berry was born on December 20, 1949 

with cerebral palsy. At that time, doctors said 

he would never walk or talk—but Fred proved 

them all wrong. He attended Massachusetts 

State Hospital School and later Bishop 

Fenwick High School in Peabody, where he 

graduated in 1968. He then attended Boston 

College, graduating in 1972. 

In 1979, Fred was elected to the Peabody 

City Council, and, in 1982, he was elected to 

the Massachusetts Senate. During his tenure 

in the Senate, Fred served on multiple committees and assumed numerous leadership 

roles. In 2003, he was elected by his colleagues to be the Senate Majority Leader, 

which is a position he continues to hold today. 

Fred’s thirty year career is filled with memorable moments and achievements. His accomplishments are too long to list here, but they
