| H.R. No. 50 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Our esteemed colleague, State Representative | ||
| Beverly Woolley, and her husband, Lynn Woolley, celebrated the | ||
| memorable occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary on September | ||
| 24, 2010; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Beverly Massey and Lynn Woolley, both native | ||
| Houstonians, were united in matrimony at Mount Carmel Catholic | ||
| Church in the Bayou City in 1960; through the years they have | ||
| nurtured a fulfilling marriage, and today they take justifiable | ||
| pride in their fine family, which includes a daughter, Cheryl | ||
| Jackson, two sons, James and David Woolley, and six grandchildren, | ||
| Abby and Morgan Jackson and Jamie, Jalynn, Anna, and Samuel | ||
| Woolley; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Representative and Mr. Woolley have long been | ||
| respected members of the Houston community; they are the former | ||
| owners of a family business, Houston Armature Works, which | ||
| celebrated its centennial in 2007; before joining the Texas | ||
| Legislature in 1995, Representative Woolley served on the Nassau | ||
| Bay City Council; in addition to her work in local and state | ||
| government, her myriad contributions to her fellow Texans include | ||
| service on the boards of the Court Appointed Special Advocates, the | ||
| Mental Health Association, and the Foundation for Financial | ||
| Literacy; she has also coached youth sports and served as a Cub | ||
| Scout leader; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A golden wedding anniversary is a celebration of | ||
| love that has stood the test of time; in the case of Beverly and Lynn | ||
| Woolley, this test has included the challenge of reconciling worlds | ||
| that are to a certain extent quite different; Mr. Woolley, for | ||
| instance, has demonstrated a strong affinity for any mode of | ||
| open-air transport that involves risk taking, from bicycles to | ||
| motorcyles to off-road vehicles; apart from the potential these | ||
| conveyances pose for bodily harm, none of them leaps to mind as an | ||
| especially suitable match for a legislator whose name has become a | ||
| byword for impeccable grooming and sartorial flair; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This pair, however, have found the key to making it | ||
| work; Beverly and Lynn Woolley have now shared a richly rewarding | ||
| five decades together, and the future looks certain to be infused | ||
| with the same love, wisdom, and good humor that have brought them to | ||
| this joyous milestone; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate State Representative Beverly | ||
| Woolley and Lynn Woolley on their golden wedding anniversary and | ||
| extend to them sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, be | ||
| it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Representative and Mr. Woolley as an expression of | ||
| high regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
