  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
50th wedding anniversary of Dr. Richard Cobb and Ann Ventress Cobb.
  Richard and Ann met at Cleburne County High School; he played in the 
band and she was a majorette--they have been together ever since. On 
August 12, 1972, they were

married at Heflin Baptist Church in Heflin, Alabama.
  Richard was employed at Jacksonville State University as Department 
Head of Management, Marketing and e-Commerce Department in the College 
of Business. Ann was employed by Cleburne County Board of Education and 
taught High School English at both Ranburne and Cleburne County High 
Schools.
  Richard, who served in the United States Marine Corps, has had his 
commercial driver's and private pilot's licenses since he was in high 
school, and for years Ann has raised support for the Cystic Fibrosis 
Foundation.
  The Cobbs are members of Heflin Baptist Church. They were blessed 
with two children: David (Misty) and Laura (Chad). They have six 
grandchildren: Nathan, Charis, Jonas, Ayla, Reaves and Fields.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in recognizing Richard and Ann, and 
wishing them a happy 50th anniversary.
