H.R. No. 5 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Richard Bothe of Port Lavaca received the 50-Year | ||
Banker Award from the Texas Bankers Association on May 3, 2013, in | ||
recognition of his long-standing service to the industry; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Bothe was pursuing a degree in economics at St. | ||
Mary's University in San Antonio when he took his first job in | ||
banking half a century ago; on graduating, he relocated to Dallas | ||
and spent four years at the regional office for the Comptroller of | ||
the Currency before returning to San Antonio and to the banking | ||
business at Brooks Field National Bank; while in his 30s, he was | ||
tapped to serve as president and CEO of Main Bank and Trust and went | ||
on to hold other executive-level posts at financial institutions in | ||
San Antonio and Corpus Christi; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 1994, Mr. Bothe began his association with IBC | ||
Bank, first at a San Antonio branch and then at one in Port Lavaca, | ||
where he accepted the positions of president and CEO; along the way, | ||
his dedication and commitment earned him the appreciation of his | ||
customers and the widespread respect and admiration of his | ||
colleagues; and | ||
WHEREAS, Although retired from IBC since December 2012, this | ||
esteemed industry veteran continues to share his expertise as chair | ||
of the bank's regional board of directors; generous with his time, | ||
he formerly served on the board of the Victoria Symphony and has | ||
been a longtime congregant and member of the financial committee at | ||
Trinity Episcopal Church; and | ||
WHEREAS, For more than 25 years, Mr. Bothe has benefited from | ||
the love and support of his wife, Lorene, and his blended family of | ||
three sons and a daughter; with his retirement, he looks forward to | ||
spending more time with his loved ones as well as to building a new | ||
career in commercial real estate and becoming more involved with | ||
area civic groups; and | ||
WHEREAS, Richard Bothe has distinguished himself through his | ||
outstanding contributions to the banking profession, and this award | ||
is indeed a fitting testament to a truly stellar career; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Richard Bothe | ||
on his receipt of the Texas Bankers Association's 50-Year Banker | ||
Award and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success | ||
and happiness; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mr. Bothe as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
