IN RECOGNITION OF THE 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY OF GREG AND CHERYL POTTS

                                 ______

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 12, 2022

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
50th wedding anniversary of Greg and Cheryl Potts.
  Miss Cheryl Lee Kriner and 2LT Gregory F. Potts were married on 
August 2, 1972, at Central United Methodist Church in Richmond, 
Indiana.
  The honeymoon was spent en route to Aberdeen Proving Ground, 
Maryland, where 2LT Potts reported for active duty in the U.S. Army 
Ordnance Corps 3 days later.
  After more than 28 years of U.S. Army active military service for 
Greg and over 20 years of DoD civilian service for Cheryl, they decided 
in the autumn of 2000 to settle in retirement in Alabama, in great part 
because of the warm welcome and exceptional hospitality they 
experienced during their 2-year assignment at Anniston Army Depot in 
the late 1990s.
  Retirement has been anything but quiet for them as Cheryl continues 
to be very active in her church, Jacksonville First United Methodist, 
and on the Advisory Board for OPAC (Oxford Performing Arts Center) 
after having served in various capacities in other community 
organizations. Greg is also active in the same church and serves as 
Chairman of the Farley L. Berman Foundation after also being active on 
several other local entities.
  After retiring from BAE Systems in 2008, Greg and Cheryl decided to 
create GFP Consulting, a niche business development advisory and 
consulting firm focused on assisting small and other businesses in the 
national security space. They are proud to be entering GFP Consulting's 
15th year of continuous operation.
  Cheryl and Greg consider themselves richly blessed to be part of the 
life and fabric of East Central Alabama.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing my friends, Greg and 
Cheryl, and wishing them a happy 50th anniversary.
