  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise today to 
commemorate a very special anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. William Treanor, 
of Pontiac, Michigan, will mark their Golden Wedding Anniversary on 
June 19, 1998. The joyous occasion will be celebrated by family and 
friends on June 28, 1998 with a mass at St. Perpetua Catholic Church 
followed by a reception at Indianwood Country Club in Lake Orion, 
Michigan.
  William Lawrence Treanor was born in Lansing, Michigan, served in 
World War II and graduated from Michigan State University in 1948. 
Rosella Caroline McIntyre was born in Charlotte, Michigan and graduated 
from St. Lawrence School of Nursing in 1945. Bill and Rosie were 
married on June 19, 1948 at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in 
Lansing, Michigan. They moved to the Pontiac area in 1949, where Bill 
worked for Interstate Motor Freight and Yellow Transport and Rosie 
worked at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Pontiac.
  In 1950, they started their family which grew to include six 
children: Kenneth, Donald, Richard, Nancy, Janet and Susan. In 1965, 
Bill took ownership and operated a franchise of North American Van 
Lines until 1989 when he retired. Treanor North American Van Lines has 
continued to be a family business. Bill was an active member of the 
Jaycee's, Elks and Kiwanis clubs as well as involved with St. Benedict 
Catholic Church Parish, Boy Scouts and various fundraising activities. 
Rosie worked part time for pediatricians, Dr. James and Dr. Dinger. She 
was an active Boy Scout and Girl Scout leader throughout the children's 
elementary years.
  Bill and Rosie have been blessed with ten beautiful grandchildren 
with whom they are very active. Bill and Rosie have lived in their 
present home for 39 years. They belong to St. Perpetua Church in 
Waterford, Michigan and are members of the Waterford Elks Club.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask my colleagues in the U.S. House of 
Representatives to join me in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Treanor many more 
years of health and happiness. Their dedication to their family and 
community serves as a shining example to us all.
