 CONGRATULATIONS TO JAMES AND ANNA MAE GAMBLE ON THEIR 50TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 4, 1997

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. 
Gamble on their 50th wedding anniversary. While raising their six 
children, Mr. Gamble worked as a printer and Mrs. Gamble worked as a 
supervisor with the Home Energy Assistant Program. Currently, they are 
proud parents of 6 children and grandparents to 13 grandchildren.
  Over the years, Mr. and Mrs. Gamble have been strong supporters of 
their community. Because of his solid presence in their neighborhood, 
Mr. Gamble is often spoken of as the ``Mayor'' of Jefferson Avenue. As 
a past president of the Sand T Block Association, Mrs. Gamble has spent 
inexhaustible hours contributing to efforts which have made that 
community close knit.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating them in passing this 
milestone in their lives.
