                 THE ANNIVERSARY OF MAX AND DONA DAVIS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize the wedding anniversary of my friends Max and Dona Davis of 
Las Vegas, NV. On May 10 Max and Dona will celebrate their golden 
anniversary commemorating 50 years of marriage. Their marriage, their 
family represents what is good about our country. Not only has their 
union produced four wonderful children, it has also brought about many 
close friends and associates.
  The Davises, who were high school sweethearts in Tremonton, UT, 
married in 1944 shortly before Max departed to serve his country during 
World War II. Upon Max's return, Dona found work at Utah State 
University and supported the family while Max attended medical school.
  Max and Dona moved to Nevada in 1967. Dr. Davis established a 
successful medical practice specializing in allergies. The Davises also 
have been heavily involved in community activities. The whole family 
have been exemplary members of the L.D.S. church.
  The joy of Max and Dona has always been their family. Their children, 
Sherie, Craig, Max and Toni have been the center of their lives. To add 
to their pride is the fact they also are grandparents to 15. The 
Davises also have a great grandchild and soon the number will be two.
  Max has now retired and is enjoying his extensive gardening 
activities. Max has also become an expert rock-hound. His lapidary, 
some say, is the best they have ever seen.
  Max and Dona exemplify lives of commitment and strong belief in the 
family, and I congratulate them during this time of celebration.
