                        Monday, January 26, 2015

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable public servant, Mr. Fred T. Nolan, a native of Dyer, 
Tennessee, but raised in Paducah, Kentucky, and has lived in Jackson, 
Mississippi since his graduation from Tougaloo College in the early 
1960s. One of his early career choices was teaching in the Jackson 
Public School District (JPS).
  Mr. Nolan taught two years at the then Brinkley High School located 
on Livingston Road and was a ninth grade teacher of Social Studies and 
Mathematics. He left JPS to pursue other career options and worked 
briefly for the Urban League of Jackson as director. The majority of 
his career spanned 25 years as the executive director of Fair Housing 
and Equal Opportunity, a division of Housing Urban Development (HUD).
  After fully retiring from HUD in 1996, Mr. Nolan rejoined the JPS 
family as a substitute and limited service teacher. He worked three 
years in a limited service capacity at Siwell Middle, Lanier High, and 
Forest Hill High schools.
  Mr. Fred Nolan is married to Mrs. Kisiah Nolan, a former JPS Board 
member and president. His son, Fredrick Nolan, is coordinator of the 
JPS WATCH D.O.G.S. program. The Nolans also have two daughters: Renee 
Nolan Johnson of Huntsville, Alabama, and Adrienne Nolan Colar of 
Smyrna, Georgia. All three of their children are graduates of the 
Jackson Public School District.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mr. Fred 
T. Nolan for his dedication to serving others.
