                        Thursday, June 23, 2005

  Mr. HUNTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay tribute to 
Joan and William F. Inman of EI Cajon, California. On June 25, 2005, 
Joan and William will celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
  Bill and Joan met in 1952, married on June 25, 1955, and their first 
daughter JoAnn was born the following year. As Bill went on to graduate 
from Pennsylvania State University in 1958, the couple decided to 
pursue the promise of employment and a chance for a new life together 
in San Diego, California. Over the next few years, Bill and Joan were 
blessed with a son, William F. Jr. and two more daughters, JoRae and 
Jodi.
  While raising his family and beginning a career as a materials 
engineer at Rohr Industries, Bill continued his education at San Diego 
State College. During this time, Joan continued her service as a full 
time mother and worked as an emergency room and maternity ward nurse at 
Grossmont Hospital. Both Bill and Joan retired with more than 75 years 
of service to their community and nation.
  Bill and Joan now fill their time with friends and family, enjoying 
golf and being a vital part of the lives of their four grandsons, Jeb, 
Jayme, Jonathan and Willie. Throughout their lives, Joan and Bill have 
faced life's challenges with a positive attitude and determined 
spirits, and have raised their children to do likewise. I wish Joan and 
Bill many more years of happiness together and in anticipation of their 
fiftieth anniversary, I ask that my colleagues join me in paying 
tribute to this milestone.
