                   HONORING THE LIFE OF MYTRON LISBY

  (Mr. FROST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life of a great man who 
just so happened to be my high school principal, Mr. Mytron Lisby.
  As a kid, I was a bit of a troublemaker. One day I played a prank at 
school that landed me in Mr. Lisby's office. Honestly, I should have 
been expelled that day, but he told me: Maxwell, I am not expelling 
you. I think you can be great, and I see something in you.
  He believed in me, and he gave me a second chance. Honestly, I think 
that second chance is one of the reasons I am here today. He came to 
know Jesus Christ as his Savior at a young age and served him 
faithfully. He served as a teacher and an administrator for 43 years.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the tens of thousands of students across 
this Nation he has inspired, I thank Mr. Lisby. I have to think that at 
the gates of Heaven, God is going to greet him with that administrator 
school radio because maybe even Heaven sometimes needs help keeping 
things on track just like a great principal does.
  May Mr. Lisby rest in peace.
