                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DINA TITUS

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 15, 2015

  Ms. TITUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the golden wedding 
anniversary of Dwayne and Carol Chestnut, two dear friends, respected 
community leaders, generous philanthropists, and loyal Democrats. They 
have three children, Kay, Michelle, and Mark, and two grandchildren, 
Darrel and Danielle Jobe.
   Carol and Dwayne met as teenagers in high school when, coming out of 
class, he held the door open for her. Carol responded, ``It is good to 
know that there are still gentlemen and scholars left.'' Dwayne was 
smitten and holds the door for Carol still today.
   When Carol and Dwayne were courting in Texas in the early fifties, 
their favorite song was ``Too Young'' by Nat King Cole. Its words were 
prophetic: ``This love will last though years may go.'' The joy they 
find in each other spills over into the numerous lives, including my 
own, which they have touched over the fifty years they have been 
together.
   Congratulations. Here's to many more good times and sweet memories 
to come.
