                       Tuesday, September 9, 1997

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Arnold Brown. 
Arnold was born in New York City and graduated from Thomas Jefferson 
High School and Central State University. He also attended Pennsylvania 
State University, where he received his masters degree.
  Since 1983, Arnold has served as the head teacher for preschool and 
kindergarten. He is indeed a rarity, an African-American male 
elementary schoolteacher. Mr. Brown undertook the noble profession of 
teaching because of his deeply maintained optimism, especially as it 
pertains to young people. Arnold has been recognized by day care 
workers for his exceptional work.
  In addition to his labors of love, Arnold Brown enjoys reading, 
chess, physical fitness, and sports.
