   HONORING THE 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY OF JOHN AND CONNIE RUMBAUGH

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BRAD ASHFORD

                              of nebraska

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, November 2, 2015

  Mr. ASHFORD. Mr. Speaker, today, I recognize and congratulate two of 
my constituents, John and Connie Rumbaugh, who this past Friday 
celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
   Both come from small towns, John from Bassett, Nebraska and Connie 
from Hinton, Iowa. John served in the Army, including in Korea 
following the war, and later worked for Boeing in Seattle before moving 
to Omaha in 1958. Connie came to Omaha in 1960 to attend business 
school. They met in 1962, and three years later--or 50 years ago 
Friday--they married.
   The next year they built their own home as part of the burgeoning 
west Omaha development of the times, and as newlyweds moved into the 
home in Millard where they still live today. In that home, they raised 
three children, Marti, Tracy and Kevin.
   I want to honor today their great accomplishment together, which to 
me represents one of the best qualities of the people I represent here 
in Congress.
