                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 7, 1995
  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, in my district I am fortunate to have 
individuals dedicated to helping others in the community. Edna Russell 
has this unyielding dedication. Edna came to New York from Costa Rica, 
Central America, where she graduated from the Salvation Army School and 
worked as a nurse in Tony Facio Hospital in Port Limon in Costa Rica.
  After Edna arrived in New York, she was employed as a nursing 
assistant at Jack Low Foundation which is now the New York Community 
Hospital of Brooklyn. Edna devoted her caring skills in the nursing 
department for 27 years before transferring to the x-ray department 
where she is now an x-ray transporter and is also their No. 1199 union 
representative.
  Always giving honor to God, in all that she does, Edna is the first 
person to give a helping hand whenever a crisis occurs. She is a member 
of the Sacred Heart Church and is affiliated with the Sacred Heart 
Shrine. I am proud to recognize Edna Russell for her relentless 
dedication to the Brooklyn community.
