                      Wednesday, September 7, 2005

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize two outstanding 
constituents of Missouri's Sixth Congressional District: Helen and 
Harry Danks of Grundy County, Missouri. Helen and Harry will celebrate 
their 60th Wedding Anniversary on December 23, 2005.
  Helen and Harry Danks were married on December 23, 1945 in Memphis, 
Tennessee. At the time, Harry was serving our country at Millington 
Naval Air Station in Millington, Tennessee and Helen was working at the 
Oak Ridge Bomb Plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Incidentally, Helen 
worked at Oak Ridge Bomb Plant at the same time that Fat Man and Little 
Boy were made.
  Helen and Harry Danks have been outstanding citizens of Grundy County 
and Northwest Missouri. They have operated the family farm for over 50 
years, and are dedicated and active members of their church and 
community.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Helen and 
Harry Danks. Their marriage of 60 years is inspirational, and I am 
honored to represent them in the United States Congress.
