                        Friday, December 8, 2006

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege today to honor Mr. and 
Mrs. Clyde Stephens as they celebrate 50 years of marriage. This is a 
tremendous milestone that embodies the enduring love and profound 
commitment they have for one another. For those of us who know the 
Stephens, their marriage is a celebration of life and an inspiration to 
us all.
  On December 12, 1957, Clyde and Nellie were married in Corinth, MS. 
Clyde and Nellie were blessed with three wonderful children, Pam 
Stephens Kelly, David Stephens and Gary Stephens, six grandchildren and 
two great-grandchildren. Tonight their family and friends are gathering 
in Middle Tennessee to celebrate this occasion.
  Mr. Speaker, a 50th wedding anniversary is truly worth commemorating, 
and I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Clyde and Nellie 
Stephens.
