                    REMEMBERING FRANK KOHLER PEEPLES

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember and 
honor Frank Peeples of Savannah, Georgia, who passed away on August 18 
at the age of 93.
  Frank's accomplishments in life are nothing less than remarkable. He 
graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology and earned a degree 
in industrial engineering. Under the leadership of Coach Bobby Dodd, 
Frank made history as the first sophomore to become head manager of the 
football team. He was inducted into the Georgia Tech School of 
Engineering Hall of Fame and the Athletic Hall of Fame for his 
remarkable achievements.
  Following graduation, he served this country in the Korean war in the 
United States Army. After the war, Frank achieved a global reputation 
as an entrepreneur, inventor, and businessman. Frank's pride in his 
service to his country and community is remarkable, and I am honored to 
recognize him today.
  My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who 
knew him during this most difficult time.
