                        Wednesday, June 7, 1995
  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to bring to the 
attention of my colleagues an exemplary couple from the Third 
Congressional District of Illinois, Mr. and [[Page E1189]] Mrs. Edwin 
Wenta. On Sunday, June 11, 1995, Edwin and Charlotte will celebrate 
their 50th weeding anniversary with their family and friends at the sky 
room of the Martinique Restaurant in Evergreen Park.
  On June 9, 1945, Edwin and Charlotte were married at the San Buena 
Mission in Ventura, CA. It was near the end of World War II and Ed was 
on leave from the U.S. Navy.
  Edwin and Charlotte have two children, son Terry and daughter Diane, 
and five grandchildren, Lisa, Nick, Deanna, Dierdra, and Gerald. The 
entire Wenta family joins me in saluting Edwin and Charlotte on this 
special occasion.
  The Wentas are a role model of the family strength and integrity that 
has made America great. Their commitment to each other and their family 
is impressive and deserving of special recognition and honor. I am sure 
that my colleagues join me in congratulating Edwin and Charlotte on 
their many years of love and commitment. May their life together 
continue to be an adventure and offer them many more pleasant memories.
