                     HONORING JACK AND LOLA BRADLEY

  Mr. BARRASSO. Mr. President, I rise today to honor Jack and Lola 
Bradley who will celebrate the 70th anniversary of their wedding during 
Thanksgiving week.
  On November 20, 1937, Jack Bradley and Lola Davis made a commitment 
to one another to become lifelong partners. True to their word, they 
have remained as husband and wife for 70 years.
  Jack met Lola in Cheyenne, WY, while they were students at Cheyenne 
High School. The story goes that it was love at first sight. The couple 
maintained their relationship while Jack went to the University of 
Wyoming and Lola finished up her high school education.
  They started their lives together by moving to Newcastle, WY, to run 
the family business, Manewal Bradley Refinery--and they remain active 
in the operation today. They raised three children: Linda, Jack and 
Lolly. Jack and Lola are respected members of the community. They've 
supported local charities, they donated land for a city park, and even 
allowed the use of their property for a community baseball diamond.
  Every candidate for public office in Wyoming knows Jack and Lola. 
They are the go-to people in Weston County. During campaign season, 
Jack and Lola continue to provide advice, support, and time to 
candidates at all levels of government.
  Through the challenges of running a business, raising a family, and 
serving their community, it was the undying love for each other that 
made such a strong relationship that it would last well into the 21st 
century. I am pleased to take this moment to express my congratulations 
to Jack and Lola and join with their family and friends in wishing them 
the very best in the years to come.
