WHEREAS, When they married many years ago, Margaret and | ||
Pete Peterson put great faith and trust in one another, and they | ||
have been amply rewarded, as they are now celebrating their 73rd | ||
wedding anniversary; and | ||
WHEREAS, Margaret Franzen and Pete Peterson were married | ||
on June 20, 1940, in the parsonage of Hutto Methodist Church; the | ||
couple had gone on their first date on August 5, 1934, which is | ||
another day they celebrate each year; though they quickly fell in | ||
love, they decided to delay their marriage until they were more | ||
financially secure, so they waited for six years after their | ||
first date to marry; and | ||
WHEREAS, The world has changed considerably during the | ||
years of their marriage, yet Mr. and Mrs. Peterson have continued | ||
to cherish traditional family values; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Peterson worked in the dry cleaning business | ||
before embarking on a successful career with the state health | ||
department; he retired in 1981; Mrs. Peterson retired from the | ||
Texas teacher retirement system; and | ||
WHEREAS, Since they married on Mrs. Peterson's 22nd | ||
birthday, their 73rd anniversary is on Mrs. Peterson's 95th | ||
birthday; it is also the day before Mr. Peterson's 97th birthday; | ||
the long and happy union of Mr. and Mrs. Peterson is truly an | ||
inspiration to us all; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, | ||
83rd Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby extend sincere | ||
congratulations to Margaret and Pete Peterson on their 73rd | ||
wedding anniversary; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
this distinguished couple as an expression of esteem from the | ||
Texas Senate. | ||
