                   TRIBUTE TO DONALD AND ELEANOR BUNN

 Mr. THUNE, Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Donald and 
Eleanor Bunn of Colorado Springs, CO. Donald and Eleanor will celebrate 
their 50th wedding anniversary this year on December 23.
  Donald and Eleanor first met in 1947 while on a double date to a 
drive-in movie; however, at the time the two of them were on the date 
with other people. Following this meeting, they began dating 
sporadically until Don finished his active duty in the Navy. After 
Don's service in the Navy, their courtship resumed in full, and Donald 
and Eleanor were married on December 23, 1958 at the Virginia Avenue 
Baptist Church in Bristol, TN. The service was performed by Reverend 
Haynes with Don's father, Silas Clifton Bunn, and Eleanor's sister, 
Anne Blevins Helms, as their witnesses. Eventually, Don and Eleanor 
made their home in Garden Grove, CA, where they raised their only 
daughter, Sharada.
  I offer my congratulations to Donald and Eleanor on their 50th 
wedding anniversary and wish them many years of continued 
happiness.
