On the recordMarch 24, 1994
March madness is upon us in more ways than one. I am here today to congratulate the NCAA winner of college basketball, and that may come as a big surprise to rooters for Purdue and Missouri and Indiana and Tulsa and others, because I am referring to Division 3, where Lebanon Valley College of Pennsylvania, in Buffalo last Saturday, won the tournament, having defeated NYU in an overtime thriller that is to the credit of Lebanon Valley College. Lebanon Valley College is in Annville, PA, in my district, a small community. The college itself houses 900 students, no more, and has had a wonderful sorts record over the years, to be culminated this year by a Division 3 championship. Ironically, on that same day, in the afternoon before the championship game, their greatest rooter for the last 65 years, 'Hot Dog' Frank, as he was known in that community, who sponsored all kinds of events and was beloved of the student body for all those years, died and did not see the culmination of his rooting for Lebanon Valley College, but the whole valley, the whole district, all of Pennsylvania, is proud of the Division 3 NCAA champion, Lebanon Valley College.
