                       Monday, December 16, 2013

  Mr. HALL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Bobby and Leta 
Ayers who celebrated their 60th anniversary this year. Their commitment 
to each other and their family is an inspiration and a wonderful 
reminder of the importance of family, particularly during the holiday 
season.
  Bobby and Leta were wed on July 3, 1953, at First Christian Church, 
Caddo Mills, by Dr. James S. Riley. Over the past six decades, Mr. and 
Mrs. Ayers have been blessed with one son, Dean, and his wife Gerry 
Ayers and one daughter, Diane, and her husband David Lindsey, as well 
as four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
  The Ayers have lived their lives in Caddo Mills, Texas. Bobby worked 
for TXU Energy for 40 years and is now retired. Leta gave private piano 
lessons and was a church secretary for 10 years at their church, First 
Baptist, Caddo Mills.
  Bobby and Leta Ayers are blessed to have had so many happy years 
together, and I wish them many more. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues 
to join me in celebration of the Ayer's 60th wedding anniversary.
