          CARL AND FLORENCE CONTER'S 60TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

 Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, I rise today to honor Carl and 
Florence Conter, lifelong residents of Wisconsin, on their 60th wedding 
anniversary. The country dance they met at began their life together 
blessed with family and friends to celebrate these years.
  The couple was married at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Mishicot on 
November 6, 1943. Florence joined Carl on his family homestead in Two 
Creeks where he was born and lived for 85 years. It remained an active 
dairy farm until the late 1960s. Recently they have moved to Mishicot.
  Today, many years after that first country dance at which they met, 
their story continues. Their children have grown up to be successful 
adults themselves, providing Carl and Florence with three grandchildren 
and four great grandchildren. Family life and faith has been a 
rewarding and sustaining part of their long relationship. Carl supports 
Florence in her advocacy of senior citizen issues. They both enjoy 
playing sheepshead and belong to several card clubs.
  I join their many friends and their family in celebration as we honor 
Carl and Florence Conter on their 60th wedding anniversary. They are 
the very best Wisconsin has to offer, and I wish them continued joy and 
happiness.
