                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                      Wednesday, February 16, 2000

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the hard work of Angela 
Howe Anderson.
  Angela is a true immigrant success story. After arriving in the U.S. 
in 1979 from Trinidad, Angela began working for Bloomingdale's 
department store. However, she remained there for only three months 
before moving to St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital. Angela has remained 
with the New York hospital industry since 1979. She is currently on the 
staff of Brookdale Hospital Medical Center where she is in charge of 
processing applications for patients in need of medical assistance. One 
of ten children, Angela received encouragement from her mother, Myrtle, 
to continue her education once she immigrated to the United States. To 
that end, she has pursued college courses at the Borough of Manhattan 
Community College. Her daughter Sharla is also attending college.
  Angela has been married to Maurice Anderson since 1992. She remains a 
shining example of the rich contributions made to this nation by many 
immigrants. Please join me in recognizing the achievements of Angela 
Howe Anderson.
