  Mr. COSTELLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Alfred 
(Jerry) and Rose Dickson's 50th wedding anniversary on June 7.
  Jerry and Rose met at the St. Aloysius Church carnival in Chicago in 
1943. Jerry served in the U.S. Navy and was stationed on the S.S. 
Gablian during World War II. His service in the Navy ended in 1946, and 
Jerry and Rose were married on June 7, 1947.
  Jerry is retired after 40 years of service in the food industry in 
Chicago and Rose is a homemaker. The couple raised 7 children and have 
13 grandchildren. I join with their family today in wishing them a 
wonderful celebration and many more happy and productive years 
together.
