                       Tuesday, December 11, 2012

  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Paula and 
Homer Thompson on the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding.
  Paula and Homer were married on December 7, 1962, in the home of 
Paula's parents in Mineral Wells, Texas. Since that day, they have 
lived in Carrollton, Texas. During their life together, they raised 
three children--Tracey Hutcherson, born on May 11, 1965; Scott 
Thompson, born on February 27, 1972; and Marc Thompson, born on January 
30, 1975. They are also the proud grandparents of Joni, Micah, Jorden, 
and Emma.
  Since 1974, Paula and Homer have been active members of the First 
Baptist Church in Carrollton. They have taught Sunday school, attended 
adult Sunday school, and sung in both the Sanctuary Choir and Live Wire 
Choir. The celebration of their fiftieth wedding anniversary will be 
held at the church on December 15.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the 24th Congressional District of Texas, I 
ask all my distinguished colleagues to join me in congratulating Paula 
and Homer Thompson on the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding. This 
landmark in their lives stands as an example of the timeless value and 
endurance of mutual honor and dedication.
