  Mr. FOSSELLA. Madam Speaker, on May 18, 1957, Carol and Peter Carroll 
were married in St. Malachy's Church and went on to raise five 
children: Kathleen, John, Peter, Helen, and Paul.
  Peter and Carol met while they were students at St. John's 
University. Peter was a starting center for the St. John's Redmen, and 
he and Carol met at a post-basketball game party.
  Peter Carroll spent 40 years as a supervisor for Brooklyn Union Gas 
and coached basketball and baseball for St. Charles Parish and the 
Great Kills Little League. Carol worked for New York Telephone and then 
worked full time raising five children while also volunteering at the 
St. Charles School.
  The Carrolls are proud grandparents of 17: Kathleen, Virginia, 
Caroline, Thomas, Amanda, Lindsey, Katie, Kevin, Billy, Andrew, 
McKenzie, Jennifer, Thomas, James, Victoria, Lauren, and Matthew. They 
currently split their time between Staten Island, Florida, and Long 
Beach Island.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Carrolls on this 
momentous occasion and wish them 50 more years of marriage.
