                    TRIBUTE TO CARL MARION FRIERSON

                                 ______


                         HON. CHARLES B. RANGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 10, 1995
  Mr. RANGEL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to Mr. Carl 
Marion Frierson, a dedicated member of my district until his death. Mr. 
Frierson was the third born and second oldest son of the late Elon and 
Nora Frierson. Born on May 18, 1925 in Philadelphia, PA, Carl served in 
the U.S. Navy from August 24, 1943 to June 2, 1946. He was honorably 
discharged with the rank of machinist mate 3C SV-6.
  After serving his country, Carl moved to Harlem where he resided for 
over 45 years. Mr. Frierson was employed with the State labor 
department as a supervisor of safety and health for 20 years before his 
retirement. Carl Frierson was also a Mason who held the exalted 
position of Worshipful Master. Mr. Frierson's unyielding dedication to 
the youth of the community included being a Boy Scout leader at the 
Explorer level, watching the children of young parents so that they 
could work, spending time at local schools, and at times helping out 
young parents by providing rent assistance.
  Mr. Frierson's relentless devotion to his family and the Harlem 
community gives me great pride to have been his Representative.
