           FRANK AND MARION HAWKINS' 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

 Mr. CHAFEE. Mr. President, I rise today to offer my hearty 
congratulations to Frank and Marion Hawkins on their 50th wedding 
anniversary. Frank and Marion took their vows at St. Raymond's Church 
in Providence, RI, in 1947. So, on October 2, they will have spent 50 
years together, living their dreams, raising their family, and sharing 
their successes and setbacks.
  The Hawkins are blessed with four children: Robert, Charles, Mary-
Ellen, and Stephen. They are also the proud grandparents of five 
grandchildren.
  After graduating from Providence College in 1942, Frank served in the 
Army Air Force during World War II. Marion graduated from Edgewood 
Secretarial School. Frank retired in 1986 after working for the Carey & 
Celotex Corp.
  I am pleased to announce that the family will gather on July 27, 
1997, for a mass and festive meal to celebrate the Hawkins' 50th 
wedding anniversary. In closing, Mr. President, I want to extend my 
best wishes to the entire Hawkins family as they come together to 
celebrate this wonderful event.
