Mr. Speaker, 37 years ago today, I received one of the highest honors of my life when I was married to the former Amy Coppage of Waycross, Georgia. We met as chemistry lab partners at Young Harris College in the north Georgia mountains. I didn't really like her much then--she was a lot smarter than me--but that quickly changed, and I grew very fond of her. We were married in Trinity United Methodist Church in Waycross, Georgia. We have been blessed with three wonderful sons, two daughters- in-law, two wonderful granddaughters, and we have a grandson on the way. Those fine young men are really the result of her efforts. I want to wish her a happy anniversary. We have been very blessed, and I am blessed today to have her with me. Happy anniversary. ____________________
