                       Friday, September 7, 2018

  Mr. CRAWFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 50th wedding 
anniversary of David and Carol Witherington. When they met, Chicagoan 
Carol Leonard was 17. Tennessean David Witherington was on leave, and 
visiting Carol's hometown of Melrose Park, Illinois. Following David's 
honorable discharge, they eloped and married on September 7, 1968, in 
Clinton, Kentucky. Mr. and Mrs. Witherington worked in the plastics 
industry, and their careers took them across the United States, along 
the way adopting two sons. In 1985 the family sold their house, moved 
to Colorado, and started their own successful plastics company--the 
BroCom Corporation. Today, the Witheringtons live in beautiful Mountain 
Home, Arkansas, and are celebrating 50 years of marriage.
