Ample rain along with the hot sunny days of summer have combined to produce berries enough for all to enjoy. Picking these sweet gifts from Mother Nature has long been one of the rites of summer, and we are all guilty of eating a few before they reach the berry pail. Stained hands and a scratch or two are a small price to pay for the bounty of "Blackberry Summer".

DOLLY PARTON AND ARTIST JIM GRAY WIN TENNESSEE’S HIGHEST AWARD FOR ACHIEVEMENT IN ARTS.
Thursday, March 20, 2003 (from the official record)
Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, on March 12, 2003, Jim Gray, a member of my constituency, was honored with Tennessee’s highest artistic award. The Tennessee Arts Commission presented Jim with the Distinguished Artist Award as a part of the 2003 Governor’s Awards in the Arts in Nashville, TN. Jim’s artistic drive has been with him his entire life, and he used his talents to guide his career as a young adult as an illustrator, an advertising executive, and as a technical illustrator in the United States Air Force. After a visit with his family to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 1966, Jim found an artistic inspiration that he had never felt before. This inspiration led him to move to east Tennessee, where his desire to paint the beauty of the Tennessee countryside became his passion.
