                         Monday, March 5, 2012

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to a 
very special occasion today--the 65th wedding anniversary of Douglas 
and Katie Jo Medders. This event will take place on March 15th, but 
family and friends are celebrating the event on March 17, 2012.
  Douglas and Katie Jo were married in Anniston in 1947 and had three 
children, Douglas Wayne, Danny and Pamela. The Medders have lived in 
Anniston all their lives.
  Although now retired, Douglas worked at Lee Brass for 43 years 
retiring in 1990 and Katie Jo owned KaPam Beauty Shop for 28 years 
until her retirement. They are the proud grandparents of eight 
grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.
  I salute this lovely couple on the 65th year of their life together 
and join their friends and family in honoring them on this special 
occasion.
