                      TONY AND MARGARET RADOSEVICH

 Mr. WELLSTONE. Mr. President, I rise today to talk about two 
extraordinary and significant people, Tony and Margaret Radosevich. Let 
me tell you about these people, let me tell you what they mean to their 
church, to their community and to their family.
  It is people like Tony and Marg Radosevich, first generation 
Americans, the very salt of the earth, who through hard work, strong 
ethics and clear vision, quite literally helped make northern Minnesota 
a wonderful place to live and raise a family--a place that strongly 
values education, democracy and hard work. Tony and Marg have lived 
their faith, standing up for their beliefs, putting them into action 
and teaching their children and community to do the same.
  On a personal note, I know these people well. It is their 50th 
wedding anniversary on Saturday, May 5, 2001. They are celebrating 50 
years of loving, laughing, and discussions around the diningroom table. 
Marg and Tony have raised seven children, opening their home to their 
children's friends and foreign exchange students. Marg is known for her 
ability to put a feast on the table with only minutes notice. I, 
myself, have been the beneficiary of her wonderful cooking and their 
joint hospitality.
  I want to take a moment today to recognize these good and decent 
people, the true heroes and heroines of our time. Tony and Marg, you 
are well loved. I wish you all the best as you, your family and friends 
celebrate your 50 years together.
