  Mr. POMBO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to submit into the Record a 
birthday greeting for my father-in-law, Mr. Franklyn Eugene Cole. I 
honor Franklyn on his 80th birthday and would like to bring attention 
to the life Franklyn has lived. Having served his country honorably in 
the United States Navy during World War II, Franklyn returned to 
California where he married his wife of 53 years, Rena Cole. Over the 
years Franklyn built a successful small business and dedicated himself 
to the education of children while he served on the Jefferson school 
board for over 30 years. Today, Franklyn lives happily with his wife 
Rena, two daughters, and five grandchildren. Mr. Speaker, I want to 
salute Franklyn Cole on his birthday for his unending patriotism and 
devotion to the American dream.
