                        Tuesday, October 6, 1998

  Mr. FRANKS of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
a great man and a pillar of the community--my good friend and former 
high school athletics coach, Mr. Howard S. Anderson.
  For forty-two years, Howie Anderson served as a role model and mentor 
for generations of students at Summit High School in Summit, New 
Jersey. As coach of three varsity level sports and Director of 
Athletics, his efforts earned Summit High School the distinction of

having one of the finest athletic programs in the state of New Jersey.
  During Coach Anderson's extraordinary career, he led the Summit High 
School football team to nine Suburban Conference Championships, four 
State Championships and two State Sectional Championships. He was twice 
named New Jersey Football Coach of the Year. In 1972, the Newark Star 
Ledger named him Baseball Coach of the Year for leading the baseball 
team to three conference championships and one state championship.
  But to those who know Howie Anderson best, he is extraordinary not 
because of his numerous awards and honors, but because he is a 
hardworking individual and a devoted friend. I know I speak for 
everyone in the Summit community when I say thank you for your 
dedicated service. Best wishes for a prosperous and healthy retirement.
