                       Tuesday, September 9, 2014

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to recognize Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Hunt who have been married 66 
years and serve as clergy in Lee County, Alabama.
  Jerry and June Hunt were married in Atlanta, Georgia on October 24, 
1948. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt both grew up with a father who served as a 
pastor. Pastor Hunt served as the associate pastor with his grandson of 
the church where his father and his wife's father served as pastors. 
This church was Fellowship Primitive Baptist Church in McDonough, 
Georgia founded in 1829 in Tucker, Georgia.
  Pastor Hunt owned a business and was pastor of a church in Atlanta 
before moving to Hopewell Primitive Baptist Church in Lee County, 
Alabama in 2008.
  Jerry and June have three children including: Frances June Hunt, 
mother of seven; Jerry M. Hunt, Jr., father of three; and Virginia Ann 
Hunt Corley, mother of three. The Hunts have 13 grandchildren and 40 
great-grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in thanking Jerry and June Hunt for their 
tireless service in the Lee County community.

                          ____________________
