                        Tuesday, August 6, 2019

  Mr. BOST. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Robert E. Colter 
and Catherine Stromdahl Colter of East Alton, Illinois for celebrating 
their 102nd and 100th birthdays, respectively. Robert, born on August 
3, 1917 in Titusville, Pennsylvania and Catherine, born on July 27, 
1919, were married in Catherine's hometown of Warren, Pennsylvania on 
March 21, 1942. This year, Robert and Catherine also celebrated their 
seventy-seventh wedding anniversary.
  Robert and Catherine moved to East Alton, Illinois in 1962, where 
they continue to reside in the same home today. When they are not 
spending time with their children and many grandchildren, Robert and 
Catherine dedicate their time giving back to their community. As 
members of East Alton First United Methodist Church for over 50 years, 
the Colters have made a lasting impact on countless people. Their 
commitment to each other and the betterment of their community is truly 
inspiring.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring Mr. Robert E. Colter and 
Mrs. Catherine Stromdahl Colter for their many years together and their 
contributions to Southern Illinois.

                          ____________________
