                         Friday, June 16, 1995

  Mr. WYNN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate a very special couple who will celebrate a milestone 
wedding anniversary on June 26, 1995.
  In these turbulent times, it is so wonderful to recognize Barbara and 
Nick Carter, a couple who have honored their vows to each other for 50 
years.
  Their romance began at Blair High School in Silver Spring, MD. He was 
a football star; she was a cheerleader. After Nick served in the Army 
Air Force during World War II, where he was a prisoner of war, Nick and 
Barbara wed on June 26, 1945.
  In 1969, they left many family and friends in Maryland and moved to 
Elkins, WV, where Nick managed the Davis & Elkins College Bookstore. In 
1975, Nick became city clerk, a position he held until his retirement 
in 1988. Barbara also worked at Davis & Elkins College, in the 
admissions office, for 18 years. They are now retired and enjoying 
their hobbies. They are avid bridge players. Nick enjoys golfing while 
Barbara enjoys gardening and tole painting.
  They are also devoted to their children and grandchildren. They 
raised four children: Denise Carter O'Gorman of San Diego, CA; Melanie 
Carter-Maguire of Catharpin, VA; Lauren Cater Campbell of Brattleboro, 
VT; and Ernest (Tad) Carter III of New York City. They are the proud 
grandparents of Andrew, Alison, Katherine, Ian, and Colin. their family 
and friends, many of whom live in my district, will gather on June 24 
to wish them well.
  I would like to add my best wishes to this special couple for the 
years to come and to commend them for their inspiring life together.
