  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Jerome and Kathy 
Hamlin on the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary. Jerome and 
Kathy Hamlin are proud parents of two, Tyrone, age 49 and Ray, age 48, 
and grandparents of four, John, age 24, DJ, age 19, RL, age 15, and 
Asia, age 10.
  Jerome and Kathy Hamlin were married on September 22nd, 1962 at 
Trinity AME Church in Long Branch, New Jersey. Jerome Hamlin was a 
graduate of Wilson High School in Florence, South Carolina before 
moving to Long Branch in 1960. He then went on to receive degrees from 
Brookdale Community College and Shaw University. Kathy Hamlin is a 
lifelong resident of Long Branch, and graduated from Long Branch High 
School in 1962. Mrs. Hamlin worked as an associate for A&S Clinique 
Cosmetics. Mr. Hamlin was a detective and sergeant in the Long Branch 
Police Department for twenty-five years, as well as a special projects 
coordinator for the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office. Currently, 
Kathy Hamlin is actively involved in interior design, while Jerome 
Hamlin spends his time practicing photography. Despite raising two 
children and working full time jobs, Kathy and Jerome Hamlin, along 
with other members of the Hamlin family, have been actively involved in 
the local community in Long Branch for a number of years.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in leading this body in congratulating 
Jerome and Kathy Hamlin on their 50th wedding anniversary. I would like 
to take this opportunity to wish Kathy and Jerome continued health, 
happiness, and success.
