ADERHOLT\n\n                               of alabama\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Tuesday, December 16, 2014\n\n  Mr. ADERHOLT. Mr. Speaker, today marks the 70th anniversary of a very\nimportant occasion. On December 16, 1944, two special people, Atley A.\nKitchings and Betty Jane Langley, were married in Miami, Florida. So,\ntoday I would like to congratulate, pay tribute to, and honor these two\ngreat Alabamians.\n  I first had the occasion to meet Atley Kitchings when I was a student\nat the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University in Birmingham,\nAlabama in the late 1980's. Atley was an adjunct professor teaching\ncommunications law. We became friends while I was a student of his. In\n1995, I was working as Assistant Legal Advisor to then-Governor Fob\nJames, and Atley was doing some legal work in Montgomery when our paths\ncrossed again. It was at that time that our friendship began to bloom.\nIt wasn't long before my wife, Caroline, and I met his lovely wife\nBetty Jane.\n  Atley A. Kitchings, Jr. was born in Louisville, KY on June 10, 1925.\nBetty Jane Langley was born on February 13, 1925 in Jackson, MS. Atley\nmoved with his parents to Clinton, MS when he was 3 years old. He met\nBetty Jane in high school in Clinton, MS, and they began dating at\nMississippi College, in Clinton, MS where they were both college\nstudents. World War II was ongoing, and Atley joined the Navy,\nparticipating first in the V-12 program at Mississippi College, and\nthen earning a commission as an Ensign in the Navy after completing\nmidshipman's school at Northwestern University in Chicago on November\n22, 1944.\n  Atley was assigned to Miami for further training, and on December 16,\n1944 (the day the Battle of the Bulge began in Europe), he and Betty\nJane were married at a Baptist Church in downtown Miami, FL. Atley\nshipped out a week later to lead the crew of a sub-chaser out of San\nJuan, Puerto Rico to hunt Nazi U-Boats, although they never found any.\nAtley left active duty in 1946, but he remained in the Navy reserves\nuntil 1978, when he retired with the rank of Captain.\n  Atley graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law and has\nhad a distinguished legal career, including: a time in the US\nAttorney's office in Birmingham, AL, a 25\n\n[[Page E1854]]\n\nyear career with AT&T, and time with several law firms in Birmingham,\nincluding his current firm of Wallace, Jordan, Ratliffe and Brandt. He\nstill practices law at the age of 89!\n  Betty Jane was an elementary school teacher in the early years of\ntheir marriage. Wanting to spend more time as a homemaker, she stopped\nteaching to raise the couple's two children, Jane Marlea and Atley\nLangley Kitchings.\n  Both Atley and Betty Jane are individuals who have touched thousands\nof lives over the years and have been an inspiration to all those who\nhave known them and that continues even today. So today, December 16,\n2014, I would like to wish Atley and Betty Jane a sincere\ncongratulations on 70 years of marriage. On Sunday afternoon, December\n21, they plan to celebrate this momentous occasion with their family\nand friends in Birmingham, Alabama.\n  May God grant them many more years together.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2014-12-16-pt1-PgE1853"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 28.108412981964648, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
