                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT A. BORSKI

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 8, 1997

  Mr. BORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Russ and Betty Cope, 
as they celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Fifty years of 
marriage is a celebration of love, commitment, and dedication to vows 
made to each other.
  Now retired, Russ worked as a rural mail carrier, and Betty as a 
teacher. In their years of marriage, the Copes had three children: 
Brian Cope, Judy Gallagher, and Diane Lloyd. Their children also made 
them the proud grandparents of Tonya Malaga; Neil, Danny, and Christie 
Cope; and Layla Lloyd.
  The Copes should be a reminder to us of the sanctity of marriage. 
Russ and Betty Cope should be honored for their continued commitment. I 
congratulate them on 50 years of devotion to each other, and the 
promise that they made. May they experience many more years of 
happiness and love.
