                       Tuesday, September 9, 2014

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to recognize Dr. and Mrs. A.L. Wilson who have been married 66 
years and serve as clergy in Lee County, Alabama.
  A.L. Wilson and his wife, Nancy Mae, were both born in Elmore County, 
Alabama and married on August 8, 1948. The Wilsons moved to Lee County 
in 1954 so Dr. Wilson could be pastor of Thompson Chapel AME Zion. Dr. 
Wilson served as pastor there for 50 years.

  A.L. and Nancy Mae raised six children and have eight grandchildren. 
They include: Vandy Wilson, a retired Air Force veteran and father of 
three; Dr. Linda Wilson, who has a Ph.D in nursing and has one child; 
Carolyn Wilson-Dandridge, an Air Force veteran and mother of two; 
Barbara Wilson-Frazier, a graduate of Tennessee State University; 
Michael Wilson, a graduate of Livingstone College in Salisbury, NC; and 
Authurine Wilson-Sims, deceased after a short, but successful life as a 
teacher of special education. She leaves behind two children.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in thanking Dr. and Mrs. A.L. Wilson for 
their tireless service in the Lee County community.
