                                 ______


                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 1995
  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize Hazel A. Younger, a 
native New Yorker. She was born in Coney Island Hospital.
  Hazel is particularly close to her family and feels that her strength 
comes from her Lord, and the encouragement offered by her mother, Mrs. 
Ella Garner, and her three sisters, Friedna, Edna, and Connie. Hazel is 
also the very proud mother of one son, Travis.
  Hazel began her education with the goal of being a lawyer. However, 
midway during her studies, she developed a fascination with numbers and 
accounting became her career.
  Presently, retired, Hazel serves as president of the board of 
directors of the cooperative in which she lives, P.E. Gorman Houses. 
She is a member of the Brookdale Hospital Ambulatory Care Services 
Community Advisory Board and Community Board 16. Hazel is also co-
chairperson of Concerned Citizens of the 58th assembly district.
  Because of her experience and eloquence, Hazel is often asked to 
speake at churches, community meetings, and A.A.R.P. chapters. She is 
known to be an articulate representative of the community, with direct 
access to local elected officials. I am pleased to commend Ms. Younger 
to the attention of my colleagues.
