                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 27, 2000

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, today I congratulate Larry and Sally 
Quist, as they celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Larry and 
Sally Quist were married on July 9, 1950.
  Larry met Sally (previously Sally Doering) while he was attending 
Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado. At the time, Sally was 
still in high school in Montrose, Colorado. She later attended Western 
State College on a music scholarship.
  Larry, a retired World War II Navy veteran, was a Park Service 
naturalist and manager. He retired from the Western Region at San 
Francisco after 33 years of service. While employed with the Park 
Service, Larry was stationed at Black Canyon National Park, Carlsbad 
Caverns National Park, Hot Springs National Park, and Zion National 
Park. He was also the Superintendent of Stones River National 
Battlefield. Larry was the first Park Superintendent at Herbert Hoover 
National Historic Site. He served as head of public relations for 
Yosemite National Park from 1969 to 1971. After his work with Yosemite, 
he moved to the Park Service Western Region in San Francisco and 
continued to work in public relations.
  Sally Quist, a stay-at-home mom, left Western State College to join 
Larry when he began working with the Park Service. Since moving to the 
San Francisco Bay area, both she and Larry have been heavily involved 
in philanthropic support of Sunny Hills Retirement Home in Marin 
Country, near their home in Novato.
  Among the Quist's many joys are their sons Kirt and Kris. Kirt is a 
retired Army officer, who has become a successful insurance and finance 
executive near Chicago, Illinois. He and his wife, Lynn, have two sons, 
Kyle and Kevin. Kris is the head curator for the State of California 
Parks in Monterey, California. He and his wife, Andrea, have a 
daughter, Lily, and a son, Jameson.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Larry and Sally Quist as they celebrate 
their 50th wedding anniversary and I urge my colleagues to join me in 
wishing them many more years of happiness.
