                          Monday, May 6, 2013

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to a 
very special occasion today--the 50th wedding anniversary of Steve and 
Carolyn Wallace. This event will take place on May 4.
  Clark Stephen Wallace was born on November 22, 1936, in Anniston, 
Alabama, and Hannah Caroline Allen was born on November 4, 1942, also 
in Anniston. They both lived on Mulberry Avenue in Anniston for six 
years before going on their first date in 1963. After persuasion from 
family and church members, Carolyn asked Steve to a Valentine's Day 
banquet at Glenaddie Baptist Church. Steve accepted, and they were 
married three months later on May 4, 1963, at the same church where 
they went on their first date.
  Steve served six years in the United States Air Force and retired 
from the United States Post Office. Carolyn retired from the Calhoun 
County School System where she was Assistant Manager of the Saks 
Elementary School lunchroom.
  Together, Steve and Carolyn have two children, Robert Clark Wallace 
and Rebecca Lucille Wallace Griffin. They have three grandchildren, 
Robert Brandon Wallace, Michael Stephen McLeroy and Zachary Hunter 
Wallace. They have one great-grandchild, Alanna Jade Wallace.
  Steve and Carolyn are active members of Saks Baptist Church in 
Anniston, Alabama.
  Please join me in congratulating this lovely couple on 50 years 
together. The celebration will take place on May 4 at a reception with 
their friends and family members.
