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.
