                  RECOGNIZING THE LIFE OF MYTRON LISBY

  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've been 
expelled that day. But he told me: ``Maxwell, I'm 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, and honestly I think that the second 
chance is one of the reasons I'm 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 administrator for 43 years. 
And so on behalf of the thousands of students--tens of thousands of 
students--across this Nation you've inspired, I thank Mr. Lisby.
  I have to think that at the gates of Heaven, God greeted him with 
that administrator's school radio, Cause maybe even heaven, sometimes 
needs help keeping things on track, just like a great Principal does. 
May Mr. Lisby rest in peace.
