                         Tuesday, July 13, 2010

  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
honor Mr. and Mrs. James and Carolyn Andrews on the occasion of their 
upcoming 50th wedding anniversary. The lives of these individuals have 
been uniquely American, and this Golden Anniversary of theirs is a 
special moment for not only them, but for their family and friends as 
well.
  Carolyn and James were married on December 23, 1960 in Dallas, Texas. 
Together, they raised four children: Frederick Andrews of Mansfield, 
Texas; Eric Andrews of Waxahachie, Texas; Tonya Robertson of Allen, 
Texas and Yolanda Owens who resides in Danbury, Connecticut. Their 
family now extends to nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
  Mrs. Andrews is a homemaker. Her loving husband worked at Texas 
Oklahoma Express for 20 years and then General Electric (GE) for the 
next 17\1/2\ years; where he later retired his professional career. The 
Andrews are active in the community and have been members of the Gospel 
Hour Chorus for over 45 years. The devoted couples' marriage has been 
based on a strong Biblical foundation, love, respect and friendship.
  Currently, the Andrews reside in Cedar Hill, Texas and are faithful 
members of the Whispering Hills Church of Christ.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives to 
join me on congratulating James and Carolyn Andrews upon the occasion 
of their 50th anniversary. For their commitment and generosity to 
family, friends, and each other, they are to be commended.
