  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to 
a very special occasion today, the 50th wedding anniversary of Harris 
and Josephine Smith.
  Harris was born July 12, 1941, and Josephine was born March 14, 1943, 
both in Ohatchee, Alabama. They first met at Ohatchee High School when 
he was in the 8th grade and she was in 6th grade.
  On December 9, 1960, they were married in Ohatchee.
  The couple raised one son, Robert Smith. Mr. Smith worked as an 
engineer with the Alabama Department of Transportation for 37 years. 
Mrs. Smith was a Business Education Teacher in the Calhoun County 
Schools for 30 years. Both are active in their church with Harris 
serving as a Deacon and Josephine playing the piano.
  The Smiths are proud grandparents of Courtney Smith and Cassidy 
Smith.
  On December 3rd, an anniversary celebration and dinner party will be 
held at Hill Crest Baptist Church in Anniston, Alabama with over 100 
friends and family members.
  I salute this lovely couple on their 50th year of their life together 
and join their family in honoring them on this special occasion.
