                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 29, 2006

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to a 
very special occasion today--the 50th wedding anniversary of Jerry and 
Virginia Greenwood.
  In April of 1954, Jerry Greenwood of Blue Mountain, and Virginia 
Hicks of Oxford met while working together at the Anniston Playland 
Skating Rink. Mr. and Mrs. Greenwood married 2 years later, on June 30, 
1956. They lived and worked in Oxford, and moved to Blue Mountain where 
Jerry worked for the City of Anniston Parks and Recreation Department.
  The couple relocated to Saks and raised their two sons, Rodney and 
Ryan. Mr. Greenwood was involved in the Saks Youth baseball program and 
coached and sponsored several of his sons' teams. Mr. Greenwood retired 
from the City of Anniston and opened Greenwood Auto Sales, while Mrs. 
Greenwood retired from Blue Mountain Industries.
  Today, the couple attends Saks Baptist Church, where Mr. Greenwood 
once served as the bi-vocational music director. They are proud 
grandparents of Chase, Cameron, Caylor, Carmyn and Cassady Greenwood.
  I salute this lovely couple on the 50th year of their life together 
and join their family in honoring them on this special occasion.
