                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 2, 2013

  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the extraordinary 
accomplishments of Mr. and Mrs. Marcine and Nita Lou Webb of San 
Angelo, Texas. Over the past three decades, Mr. and Mrs. Webb have made 
it their mission to visit all 50 state capitol buildings throughout the 
United States. Their 35-year journey culminated in June when they 
traveled to Augusta, Maine.
   Their adventure took them from the dusty West Texas plains to every 
corner of this nation. It has given them the opportunity to witness 
firsthand the vast beauty found throughout our country and experience 
the people, traditions, and history that make America great.
   The most endearing part of their story is that they made this 
journey together, side by side, with the help and support of their 
family and friends. The latest visit to Augusta was an early wedding 
anniversary gift from their loving children Becky, Penny, Dennis, and 
Marcie to help them celebrate their 65th anniversary together on August 
28, an astonishing feat on its own.
   Their devotion over the years is a testimony to their love of our 
county, to each other, and their family. As they gather with family and 
friends to celebrate this occasion, may they be blessed by their wisdom 
and learn from their experiences. I congratulate them on their 
accomplishing their long sought-after goal and their many years 
together. I wish them many more.
