    HONORING MELVIN AND MINNIE LOU SCOTT FOR CELEBRATING THEIR 80TH 
                              ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JEB HENSARLING

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, April 9, 2008

  Mr. HENSARLING. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize two 
outstanding citizens of Frankston, Texas, Melvin Scott and Minnie Lou 
Scott.
  On November 8, 2007 the Scotts celebrated their 80th wedding 
anniversary, an accomplishment that very few achieve. The Scotts' long-
lasting marriage is one that exemplifies dedication and healthy values. 
In fact, Frankston citizens often ask the Scotts' advice on how they 
too can have a successful, long lasting marriage.
  On February 21, 2008 Melvin celebrated his 101st birthday. Minnie Lou 
is 99-years-old. They have one son, three grandchildren and four great 
grandchildren.
  Madam Speaker, on behalf of the Fifth District of Texas, I am honored 
to recognize Melvin and Minnie Lou Scott for their longstanding 
dedication to each other and their family.

                          ____________________
