[[Page E494]]

Dunn, who on March 23, 1962, were married in the Everton Christian 
Church in Everton, Missouri, and are now celebrating their 50th wedding 
anniversary.
  Joe Bob and Rose Lynne were born and raised in rural Dade County, 
Missouri. They both grew up on farms and graduated from Everton R3 
Public School, Joe Bob--Class of 1959, and Rose Lynne--Class of 1961. 
While in school they were high school sweethearts and I am proud to say 
that their love has stood the test of time.
  After graduating, Joe Bob and Rose Lynne went to work in Springfield, 
Missouri. Joe Bob spent his career in the Producers Creamery plant, now 
known as Dairy Farmers of America, and retired in 1999. Rose worked as 
a secretary at Lily Tulip, Zenith Electronics, and retired Emeritus 
from Missouri State University in 2007.
  Joe Bob and Rose Lynne have been blessed with a son, Scott, who lives 
in Springfield, Missouri. Scott and his wife Tobin have provided the 
light of Joe Bob and Rose Lynne's life, their grandsons Taylor and 
Jordan. They both actively enjoy cheering on their grandsons in their 
various team sports.
  When they were not busy with their family, Joe Bob and Rose Lynne 
enjoy square dancing together. They were active members of the Frisco 
Square Dance Club and to date have attended 13 national conventions. 
They are currently members of the Christian Church and are loyal 
supporters of the Missouri State athletic teams. As a family they enjoy 
the great outdoors by traveling and camping.
  These days, they relish their well-earned golden years in the 
retirement home, at the Island Green Golf Community in Republic, 
Missouri.
  I am proud of Joe Bob and Rose Lynne and am honored to call them my 
neighbors in the 7th Congressional District of Missouri. I want to 
commemorate their 50th wedding anniversary and may God bless them with 
many more happy and loving years together.
