CONGRATULATING JACK FELTON, A LIFELONG VOLS FAN

Congressional Record, Volume 170 Issue 183 (Tuesday, December 10, 2024) [Congressional Record Volume 170, Number 183 (Tuesday, December 10, 2024)] [House] [Pages H6581-H6582] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CONGRATULATING JACK FELTON, A LIFELONG VOLS FAN (Mr. BURCHETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. BURCHETT. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate a very fine young man from Tennessee's Second District, young [[Page H6582]] Jack Felton. Jack is a proud member of the fall 2024 pledge class of the Sigma Chi fraternity at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where he was recently initiated. Jack graduated from the Webb School of Knoxville, where he served as captain of the baseball team and played shortstop. He thinks quickly, he has got steady hands, and he works very hard. Jack is majoring in agribusiness. I know he will find success wherever his life takes him. I know his parents, and they have raised him well. Jack has four sisters; three are here, and one sweet little girl is in heaven. Jack has been a lifelong Vols fan, and he is fourth in the family to attend UT. He truly bleeds orange, Mr. Speaker. I have no doubt Jack will continue to make his family proud by attending every single class, as his father did, and not staying out late when he should be in the library. Mr. Speaker, as a reminder, one of our other fraternity brothers, Scott Davis, owned a bar on the Cumberland Avenue Strip, and its name was The Library. I look forward to seeing all the great things he will accomplish, and I expect to see his pledge class at the top of the GPA leaderboard this semester. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Jack on his initiation. Go Vols. ``In hoc signo vinces.'' ``In this sign you will conquer.'' ____________________
