                         Tuesday, June 9, 1998

  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a couple 
celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, Herbert and Sally Boykin of 
Rembert, South Carolina.
  Mr. Boykin worked first as a janitor and then as a custodial 
supervisor in the Sumter County schools. He also served as a Deacon for 
more than forty years at Union Baptist Church and recently retired as a 
Chairman of the Deacon Board. Mr. Boykin is also a Mason.
  Mrs. Boykin returned to school after having five children to continue 
her education at Morris College where she became a certified classroom 
teacher. She taught in Kershaw County and the City of Sumter for more 
than thirty years. Mrs. Boykin is still an active member of the 
Deaconess Board and the National Council of Negro Women.
  Mr. & Mrs. Boykin were married on July 11, 1948. After ten years of 
marriage, the couple had five children. The Boykins worked hard to 
provide a college education for all five of their children. They remain 
active members of Union Baptist Church, where their children were 
baptized.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in honoring 
Herbert and Sally Boykin, as they celebrate their Golden Anniversary.
