                        Wednesday, July 12, 1995
  Mr. THOMPSON. Mr. Speaker, I stand today to recognize Jamaine A. Fry 
of Tutwiler, MS. Jamaine was a 12-year-old student at the West District 
Middle School in Sumner MS. Shortly after midnight on June 6, 1995, 
this young man was awakened to discover the living room wall in the 
family's apartment was in flames. He quickly alerted his mother and 
other family members, and helped them escape to safety. Jamaine died 
from smoke inhalation after re-entering the apartment thinking a family 
member was still inside.
  Today, I salute Jamaine A. Fry for bravery. The example of his 
courage and love will remain as a source of continued inspiration to 
his family, friends, and the community of Tutwiler, MS.
