“I am here to talk about a high school football coach. His name is Billy Newman. He used to play football at Washington State University. He coached my son before. Now he is the new head coach at Ferris High School. They won their first game. I want to congratulate him. I want to wish all the teams in my area good luck this season.”

“I want to congratulate Ferris High School on hiring Billy Newman as their new football coach and winning their first game. I wish them and all high school football teams in eastern Washington a great season.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Ferris High School's football team for naming a new head coach, Billy Newman, and I congratulate them on their first win of the season on Friday. Billy Newman brings more than two decades of coaching experience and strong ties to the Spokane community. I remember him as a standout football player for Washington State University, and I appreciated Coach Newman when he coached my son in AAU basketball. Billy's appointment reflects Ferris High School's commitment to strengthening its football program through character development and meaningful partnership with students, staff, and the broader community. Billy said upon becoming the coach: ``This football program will be built on school and community pride. It is an honor to represent our school, our families. . . .'' I wish the Saxons and all the high school football teams of eastern Washington success as they take on what looks to be a great football season. I wish good luck to the players, coaches, and the entire family, and, once again, I congratulate Coach Newman and the Ferris boys' football team on that first win of the season. Honoring Life and Legacy of Dr. Charles ``Charlie'' Robert Wolfe”

“A man died. He was a doctor. He worked in the army. He worked at a hospital. He wrote a manual. He did other things too. I am sorry he died.”

“I am honoring Dr. Charles Robert Wolfe, who recently died at 94. He was an Army doctor, spent decades treating patients in Spokane, and served in the Washington State House.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Charles ``Charlie'' Robert Wolfe, a longtime physician, public servant, and member of the Spokane community who passed away on September 7 at the grand old age of 94. After earning his medical degree from the University of Nebraska, Dr. Wolfe served as an Army physician in Okinawa, attaining the rank of captain. He and his wife, Patricia, eventually settled in the Spokane Valley where he spent three decades caring for patients and strengthening the local healthcare system. Dr. Wolfe helped establish the first full-time staffing of the Valley General Hospital emergency department and wrote Washington State's first emergency services manual. He later became a founding partner of Occupational Medicine Associates and served as a physician for Kaiser Aluminum. His commitment to service extended beyond medicine. Charlie served in the Washington State House of Representatives, was a delegate to the Republican National Convention that nominated Ronald Reagan, and devoted years to causes including the Union Gospel Mission and Christian education. I extend my condolences to the family, and I join all of Congress in celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Charles Robert Wolfe. God bless you.”
