                        Thursday, June 28, 2001

  Mr. HOBSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the members of the 
Sayers Family from Clark County, Ohio and their combined commitment to 
shared American values. I rise today to recognize the fact that the 
four children of Charles and Virlie Sayers have each married and raised 
their own families for a combined total of 231 years. The Sayer Family 
provides an excellent example for our community in Ohio, as well as for 
the country as a whole, of the importance and benefits of a solid 
family heritage.
  In today's society, it is very uplifting to hear stories such as 
these and to see the commitment this Ohio family has made to one 
another. It was through the Sayer Family's strong foundation that they 
understood the meaning of hard work as well as the value of family. 
Growing up, the children were encouraged to be good students, trained 
in music, and helped run their family farm. They understood the meaning 
of responsibility and the importance of strong family ties.

  I want to take this opportunity to recognize the Sayers' for 
preserving such a strong family bond and for their traditional values 
and morals.
