Whereas, their marriage will reach the half-century mark on June 14, 1997, and Louise Leonard Smith Tinsley, and Fred Regan Tinsley are devoted to each other, and have joyfully stood together as a model-married couple for fifty years; and

Whereas, they are the proud parents of three children, Fred Edward Tinsley, Gary Thomas Tinsley, and Charles Allen Tinsley; and have three grandchildren: Samuel Gabriel Tinsley, Claire Llewellyn Tinsley, and Mary Louise Tinsley; and
