  Mr. CANTOR. Madam Speaker, I respectfully request the attention of 
the House to pay recognition to an important day in the lives of Mr. 
and Mrs. A. Norman Bantz.
  On November 16, 2009, Norman and Gloria Bantz celebrated their 63rd 
wedding anniversary. Norman was born on July 17, 1921, and his wife, 
Gloria, was born on November 16, 1922.
  The couple married on November 16, 1946 at Annunciation Church in 
Crestwood, New York.
  Over the years, Norman and Gloria have been blessed with 6 children, 
Alexandra Louise, Rita Marie, Ralph Fredrick, Margaret Elizabeth, 
Katherine Mary, and Peter James; 13 grandchildren, and 7 great 
grandchildren.
  On November 16, the couple along with their family and friends 
celebrated their anniversary at the home of their daughter.
  I would like to congratulate, Norman and Gloria, for reaching this 
important milestone in their lives. They are shining examples of love 
and dedication for us all, and I wish them and their family all the 
best at this important occasion.
