                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ROBERT W. NEY

                        Tuesday, April 21, 1998

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to rise today to celebrate the 
50th wedding anniversary of Edward and Jessie Freeman, Sr. It gives me 
great pleasure to congratulate Edward and Jessie on their special day.
  What a remarkable accomplishment to be able to celebrate a marriage 
that has endured for so many years. The bond that brought them together 
has remained and grown over the years. May they always share the love 
and joy they feel today.
  In an era where marriages are too often short lived, it is wonderful 
to see a couple who have endured the trials and tribulations that can 
cause a marriage to fail. The love and commitment they have 
demonstrated should serve as an inspiration to couples everywhere.
  Mr. Speaker, what an achievement to be married for 50 years. It is an 
honor to represent a couple like the Freeman's. I am proud to call them 
my constituents.
