[[Page 3733]]

Farmer of Macon, Missouri. Ronnie and Linda were married on March 14, 
1964 and will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on March 9, 
2014.
   Ronnie and Linda were married at the Christian Church Parsonage in 
Kirksville, Missouri. Ronnie would work for 48 years at Con-Agra, 
starting when he was a junior in high school up to his retirement in 
2010. He was also very involved with the Boy Scouts and American Legion 
baseball. Linda has also served a very important role in her community, 
serving as a member of the Garden Club among other civic boards, while 
also playing an instrumental role in preserving the history of Macon, 
including the Colonel Blees Museum. Additionally, she currently serves 
on the Macon City Council. Whether taking long road trips across the 
country, riding roller coasters at Six Flags and Worlds of Fun here in 
Missouri, or just taking in a Cardinals' game at Busch Stadium, Ronnie 
and Linda have enjoyed life together and look forward to what the 
future has in store.
   Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me, along with Ronald and 
Linda Farmer's three sons and their wives, seven grandchildren, two 
great-grandchildren and many friends and family, in congratulating them 
on this significant occasion and wishing them many more years of 
happiness together.
