  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I would like to call the attention of my 
colleagues to two friends and constituents of the Sixth District of New 
Jersey: Mayor and Mrs. Frank E. Adams celebrating their 50th Wedding 
Anniversary.
  Reverend Joseph A. Manning, OP, married Mrs. Ellen and Mr. Frank 
Adams on September 20, 1952 in St. Peter's Chapel in Newark, New 
Jersey. Having met on the Beach of Belmar, New Jersey, the couple 
became engaged and is happily married.
  Mr. Frank Adams, like most elected officials in the City of Spring 
Lake, New Jersey, balanced his time between working to support his 
family and administering an elected position. Retiring after thirty-
eight years as Claims Manager at New Jersey's Bell Telephone Company 
Legal Department. Mr. Adams continued to hold his respective office as 
Mayor of Spring Lake Heights, signifying him as Mayor for nineteen 
years. Mayor Adams previously served as a member of the Borough Council 
for ten years and is a charter member of Elks Lodge 2534 in Manasquan, 
American Legion Chapter 432 Spring Lake, and the New Jersey Conference 
of Mayors.
  Mrs. Ellen Adams, the former Ellen Jayne Carlin of Newark, New Jersey 
was employed by the Prudential Insurance Company of Newark, and was the 
Secretary of the Patrician Guild. Mrs. Adams is a past Grand Regent of 
the Court of Saint Margaret #1146 and Catholic Daughters of the 
Americas, Spring Lake.
  We celebrate today the life and journey of these two talented and 
dedicated individuals whose sole purpose remains to their community's 
enrichment. It is with great pleasure and esteem that I recognize the 
contributions of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Adams.
