                 RETIREMENT TRIBUTE TO DANIEL A. FRANK

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DONALD M. PAYNE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 19, 2000

  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to invite my colleagues to join 
me in congratulating Daniel Frank on the occasion of his retirement 
after twenty years of service to the Kessler Institute of 
Rehabilitation, and recognizing him for his many years of dedicated 
public service.
  Through his work as a Physical Therapist Assistant at Kessler 
Institute, Daniel Frank has inspired countless numbers of people to 
work through their physical challenges and to reclaim hope and promise 
for a fulfilling life. His efforts to empower people are legendary. He 
encourages his patients to take the next step, to not give up, to value 
themselves as productive citizens. Both his former patients and his 
colleagues sing his praises for his unrelenting persistent good cheer.
  Daniel Frank is also very active in his church, Calvary Roseville 
United Methodist Church in East Orange, New Jersey. He wears several 
hats in the church and can be called on at any time by clergy, members 
and persons from the community for help. He is a true humanitarian. He 
delivers food share not only to needy members of his church family but 
to persons in need in the community. Over the years, he has worked hard 
and diligently on the following committees of his church: Usher Board; 
Administrative Board; Visitation; Council on Ministries; Finance; 
Evangelism; Fund Raising; Church & Society; Stewardship; Greeter.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Daniel Frank for his more than 20 
years of exemplary service. His life of leadership and community 
involvement is instructive to us all. His dedication to the ideals of 
public service stand tall and it is fitting that he be honored on the 
occasion of his retirement. Therefore, I ask my colleagues, Mr. 
Speaker, to join me in honoring a great man for all of his achievements 
and contribution to our community.
