                    CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF MARRIAGE

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Vert and Doris 
Voigt and Clayton and Minnie Wittmeier of Avon, SD. The Voigts were 
married on September 7 while the Wittmeier's were married on August 24, 
both 50 years ago this year.
  The Voigts and Wittmeiers are close neighbors and even closer 
friends. Both couples were married in the Emmanuel Reformed Church in 
Springfield, SD, and for many years since have been active in the First 
Baptist Church in Avon. The Wittmeiers and the Voights have served and 
continue to serve as a great example of dedication and commitment: both 
in their marriages and through their friendship.
  I would like to offer my congratulations to Vert and Doris Voigt and 
Clayton and Minnie Wittmeier on their anniversaries and wish them 
continued happiness in the years to come.
