  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize the contributions 
and achievements of Mr. Leslie Allen Taylor, a vital contributor to the 
health and welfare of senior citizens in Brooklyn, NY.
  Mr. Taylor was born in Plainfield, NJ. After graduating from 
Plainfield High School he served in the Army and subsequently attended 
and graduated from North Carolina Central University. He met and 
married Carnell Fuller and they have four children, and one 
granddaughter.
  Mr. Taylor embarked upon his service to seniors after working in 
different capacities for the Department of Welfare as a counselor and 
later as a social investigator. He was appointed director of I.H. Pink 
Senior Center in 1978, and maintained that position until his 
retirement in 1991.
  Currently he serves as the director for the East New York Interagency 
Council, which is responsible for Department of Aging services. He has 
served with distinction, and is one of the founders of the East New 
York Interagency Council for the Aging. His efforts were instrumental 
in providing transportation services for seniors in the Ocean Hill/
Brownsville and East New York areas.
  An avid sports enthusiast and fan, Mr. Taylor is active in a softball 
league. He has played on a number of championship softball teams, and 
has also done some umpiring.
  Mr. Taylor is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. He is known 
throughout Brooklyn for his total commitment to improving his 
community, particularly, senior citizens. I am proud to acknowledge the 
sterling achievements of this dedicated and humble man.
