    CONGRATULATIONS TO EDGAR AND MARIE HOLLEY ON THEIR 65TH WEDDING 
                              ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______


                           HON. GLENN POSHARD

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 15, 1994

  Mr. POSHARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Edgar and Marie 
Holley of Mode, IL, who celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary today. 
In an era when families find it harder and harder to stay together, the 
Holleys are certainly deserving of this recognition for their 65 years 
of companionship.
  Edgar, known to his friends as ``Bud'', worked as an Illinois farmer 
for over 50 years. Marie Holley devoted her life to raising their son, 
Gerald, who has grown up to be a fine young man. Edgar and Marie are 
active members of the Free Methodist Church in Cowden, IL.
  Their commitment to those around them and to each other is a shining 
example of what is good and right about our Nation. I wish Edgar, 
Marie, their son Gerald and his family greatest happiness on this very 
special day. May we all live such rich and distinguished lives as Edgar 
and Marie Holley.
