                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 4, 1997

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to extend best wishes to 
Eugene and Doris Herdman on the occasion of their golden wedding 
anniversary, February 9, 1997.
  Eugene and Doris Herdman have shared a partnership of love and 
commitment which has been an inspiration to all who have known them. 
Enriched by all of life's experiences, their union has endured and 
grown stronger over time.
  Marriage is the principal foundation on which civilization has been 
built. The loyalty and love that Eugene and Doris Herdman have 
demonstrated through the past 50 years strengthens the institution of 
marriage and increases our faith in the idea of trust between human 
beings.
  As Eugene and Doris Herdman celebrate this special occasion, I wish 
them, their two children, Nancy and Jim, and their two grandchildren, 
Jon and Alison, many years of happiness and fulfillment.

                          ____________________
