                       Wednesday, April 30, 2014

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to a 
very special occasion today--the 50th wedding anniversary of Lynn and 
Glenda Martin.
  Glenda Jean Dalton was born in Gainesville, Georgia, and Horace Lynn 
Martin was born in Anniston, Alabama. They met at First Baptist Church 
of Saks over 50 years ago. They were married at First Baptist Church of 
Saks on May 22nd, 1954, and they are still very active members today. 
Lynn also serves as a deacon and as the Church Administrator.
  Both Lynn and Glenda attended college at Jacksonville State 
University. While there, Glenda got her Master's Degree in Education, 
and Lynn got a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and Math. Glenda taught 
at Wellborn High School until her retirement, and Lynn owns his own 
business in Anniston, Green's Art and Framing. He has also worked for 
several accounting firms over the years. Mr. Martin is also very 
involved with the Saks High School football team where he has carried 
the chains for the team for about 48 years. The Calhoun County School 
Board just voted to name the old high school gym after Mr. Martin. It 
is now known as the Lynn Martin gym.
  Together, Lynn and Glenda have two daughters: Sheilah Brady and Dawne 
Vaughn. They have 7 grandchildren: Cory Wooten, Cassidy Wooten, Trey 
Brady, Jessica Vaughn, Aaron Vaughn, Peyton Vaughn, and Grayson Vaughn.
  Please join me in congratulating this lovely couple on 50 years 
together. Mrs. Martin, a cancer survivor, and Mr. Martin set an example 
of love and service for the people of the Third District. The 
celebration will take place on May 10th at a reception with their 
friends and family members.
