  WHEREAS,  This  Legislative  Body  takes  great  pleasure  in paying
tribute to those flourishing marriages that have stood the test of  time
to serve as a paradigm for present and future generations; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the sense of this Legislative Body to congratulate
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur  Kean  upon  the  occasion  of  their  50th  Wedding
Anniversary;  the  couple  celebrated  their  Golden  Anniversary with a
family trip to Walt Disney World; and

  WHEREAS, Arthur "Chip" Kean and the former  Mary  Ann  Cameron  were
united  in  marriage  on  May  30,  1969,  at St. John the Baptist Roman
Catholic Church in Kenmore, New York; and

  WHEREAS, They are the proud  parents  of  three  children,  and  the
loving grandparents of three grandchildren; and

  WHEREAS, Arthur Kean taught math at City Honors School for 27 years,
and  was an adjunct professor for 30 years at Canisius College; Mary Ann
Kean is a retired librarian from both  Futures  Academy  and  Waterfront

  WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kean are and always have been  a  tower
of strength, support, understanding and limitless love for their family;
and

their family, friends and all who  know  them  are  their  hallmark  and
tradition; and

  WHEREAS,  Mr.  and  Mrs. Arthur Kean have lived and continue to live
their lives with great dignity and genuine grace, always demonstrating a
deep and continuing concern for human  values  and  ideals,  and  in  so
doing, they have inspired others to do the same; and

  WHEREAS,  This  meaningful  occasion is the result of the love, hard
work and spirit this couple has invested in their marriage; and

  WHEREAS, They have passed these same values  to  their  loved  ones,
producing  a  family that is close-knit and supportive of its individual
members, public-minded in its relations to the community  and  committed
to the ideals of citizenship upon which this Nation was founded; and

  WHEREAS,  Mr.  and  Mrs. Arthur Kean have touched the lives of their
family and many friends through the shining example of  their  marriage,
which  is  a testament to the devotion and admiration which they possess
for one another; and

  WHEREAS, The longevity of  this  enduring  marriage  truly  marks  a
milestone in life's journey, an event of personal triumph and joy; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the practice of this Legislative Body that when an
occasion of such importance is brought to our attention, the same should
be memorialized by us for the edification and emulation of others;  now,
therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kean upon the occasion  of  celebrating
their 50th Wedding Anniversary; and be it further
