  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor for me to 
rise today to extend congratulations to the Roy Classen Family for 
being selected as the Escambia County 2006 Outstanding Farm Family of 
the Year. The Classen family has run an extremely successful farm in 
Northwest Florida for 39 years.
  Classen is a Row Crop Producer, growing cotton, peanuts, corn, 
soybeans and wheat on his 515 acre farm in Walnut Hill. He raises cows 
as well. Classen and his wife, Miriam have been married 40 years and 
have four children and seven grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the United States Congress, I would like to 
offer my sincere commendation to a family that could serve as a role 
model to us all. A deep sense of work ethic and values has been 
instilled in the Roy Classen Family. It is my hope that this family 
tradition continues for many generations to come.

                          ____________________
