  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of Frank Harris on the 
occasion of is 80th Birthday.
  Frank Harris was born and raised in Boston, MA. He left Boston when 
he joined the army. After completing his military service he moved to 
New York. He has served St. Barnabas Episcopal Church for 40 years. He 
is very active in his church. He has been an usher, he is on the 
vestry, and he is in the Brotherhood where he has worked as the 
secretary and treasurer for over 20 years. In addition to his work in 
the church, before retiring, Frank worked for Con Edison for over 20 
years in Brooklyn and Buchanan, New York. He has been happily married 
to Annie Harris for 44 years.
  As a proud father and a loving husband, he and his wife have three 
children, two adopted and their natural son, Kirby.
  Mr. Speaker, Frank Harris has lived a life of hard work and 
dedication to his church, his family and community. As such he is more 
than worthy of receiving this recognition today and I urge my 
colleagues to join me in honoring this truly remarkable man on his 80th 
Birthday.
