  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Ralph and 
Catherine Brosi as they celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. A 
party is being held in their honor on May 2, 2004 at the Dante Club in 
Fresno, California.
  Ralph and Catherine Brosi were married on May 2, 1954 at Our Lady of 
Victory Church in Fresno, California. They are both natives of Fresno, 
California and currently make their home in Clovis, California. Ralph 
graduated from Clovis High School in 1946 and went on to serve in the 
United States Army from 1952-1954. Catherine graduated from Edison High 
School in 1945, and was later employed as a medical secretary. Ralph 
and Catherine started a successful farming and ranching business, 
Brosi's Poultry Farm.
  Ralph and Catherine have always set a strong example of family values 
for their children. Their son, Robert, was born in 1955 and is 
currently a dentist practicing in Oakhurst, California. In 1956 their 
daughter, Karen, was born. Karen currently works as a Financial Planner 
in Mountain View, California. They enjoy spending time with their three 
grandchildren, Deena, Jenna, and Cayla.
  The Brosi's are currently retired, but have been involved with 
various volunteer organizations in their community throughout the 
years. Ralph is a member of the California Water Fowlers Association, 
the Sons of Italy, Ducks Unlimited and has served as the President of 
the Clovis 20/30 Club. Catherine is an active member of Our Lady of
