|---|
| 5 | 5 | | WHEREAS, Gustavo Garza has distinguished himself in more ways |
|---|
| 6 | 6 | | than one during his service to the Texas House of Representatives |
|---|
| 7 | 7 | | during the 81st Legislative Session; and |
|---|
| 8 | 8 | | WHEREAS, Working as a legislative aide for Representative |
|---|
| 9 | 9 | | Eddie Rodriguez, Mr. Garza earned the nickname "El Cabrito," or |
|---|
| 10 | 10 | | "The Goat," for his astonishing ability to eat anything and |
|---|
| 11 | 11 | | everything that came into the office, and when there was nothing |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | left to eat therein, he exhibited a rare aptitude for scavenging |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | food from somewhere else; and |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | WHEREAS, Mr. Garza's social skills proved equally |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | remarkable; he never failed to show up early to a reception or late |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | to work, and in the course of getting to know every Capitol staffer, |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | he was extremely generous in giving away all of the office's |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | delicious cake; he likewise demonstrated an unerring ability to |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | order the most expensive item on a menu, as well as a remarkably |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | cultivated taste in $37 cocktails; and |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | WHEREAS, This remarkable young man's organizational skills |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | consisted in keeping his entire desk, his coworker's desk, and the |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | surrounding floor covered with his work; the desk itself, however, |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | could always be located, from every corner of the office, by the |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | smell of rotting food stashed in the drawers; and |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | WHEREAS, In spite of all of the above, however, Mr. Garza |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | demonstrated true dedication to his work and a genuine interest in |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | learning more about policy issues that were new to him; always |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | helpful, he happily did whatever was asked of him, and he proved |
|---|
| 30 | 30 | | throughout the session to be a hard worker and a genuinely good guy; |
|---|
| 31 | 31 | | now, therefore, be it |
|---|
| 32 | 32 | | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|---|
| 33 | 33 | | Legislature hereby commend Gustavo Garza on his service as a |
|---|
| 34 | 34 | | legislative aide in the office of Representative Eddie Rodriguez |
|---|
| 35 | 35 | | and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued happiness and |
|---|
| 36 | 36 | | the requisite success to afford $37 cocktails in the future; and, be |
|---|
| 37 | 37 | | it further |
|---|
| 38 | 38 | | RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|---|
| 39 | 39 | | prepared for Mr. Garza as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|---|
| 40 | 40 | | House of Representatives. |
