                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 24, 2001

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I ask this 
body to pause for a moment and pay respects to one of the great 
citizens of the Western Slope of Colorado. On March 27, Dr. Charles 
Teissier Frey passed away. He was 83 years old. His passing is a great 
loss to the community of Cedaredge, Colorado. Dr. Frey is survived by 
his four sons, Larry, Robert, William, Stephen, his five grandchildren, 
wife Ada Lewis, and his sister, Evelyn.
  Dr. Frey has been a member of the community since 1947. Before moving 
to Colorado, Dr. Frey attended Tulane University and Louisiana State 
University Medical School where he learned to be a doctor. In 1942, he 
joined the U.S. Army as a physician. Dr. Frey was a member of the 
American Board of Family Practice and the American Academy of Family 
Physicians. He has been given numerous honors, awards and distinctions 
as well as the National Rural Health Practitioner of the Year for 1987.
  While in Cedaredge, Dr. Frey served on the Town Council for eight 
years. He also served as a volunteer with Project HOPE, were he worked 
on a Navajo Reservation in Belize, British Honduras and Taiwan. He was 
also a member of the Cedaredge Community Church.
  In the late 60's, Dr. Frey gathered a group of acquaintances and 
friends to arrange funding for a nursing home which would be dedicated 
to maximum service and minimum profit. For 15 years the Horizons 
Nursing Home paid no dividends and no fees to the Board of Directors, 
while serving seniors admirably.
  Mr. Speaker, the community of Cedaredge and Dr. Frey's family will 
miss him greatly. He has done so much for the community, that's why I 
would to take a moment and honor Dr. Charles Teissier Frey. He is a 
great American and distinguished Coloradoan who will be greatly missed.
