                       Thursday, February 4, 1999

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of Frederick A. 
Jones, a gentleman who was an outstanding member of the Olmsted Falls 
community.
  Over the years Mr. Jones worked in a variety of ways to make Olmsted 
Falls a better place. He umpired Summer League baseball games, led a 
Boy Scout group, and served as the presiding chairman of the city's 
Civil Service Commission.
  After moving to Olmsted Falls in 1941 Mr. Jones worked as a volunteer 
fireman for 30 years, spending much of that time as a captain. During 
his tenure he helped connect the Fire and Police departments via a ham 
radio system.
  Mr. Jones also served in the U.S. Army Infantry during World War II, 
participating in the Rhineland offensive. After his service in World 
War II Mr. Jones returned to Olmsted Falls and worked for Bell 
Telephone until 1981.
  Mr. Jones was also a member of the committee that planned and oversaw 
the construction of a football field and track for Olmsted Falls High 
School. He and his wife, Betty, served as co-chairs of the Athletic 
Boosters Club for nine years. Mr. and Mrs. Jones also acted as the co-
chairs of the Olmsted Falls local antique show at the Olmsted Community 
Church.
  He will be greatly missed.
