H.R. No. 2731
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to
honor Adam Kowis for his outstanding work as an intern in the office
of State Representative Debbie Riddle; and
WHEREAS, A devotee of The Lord of the Rings, Adam Kowis
happens to bear a striking resemblance to Frodo Baggins, a fact
often remarked on with unholy glee by the chief of staff; indeed, he
has a hobbit's love of squirreling things away in his desk and also,
alas, a hobbit's sense of fashion in dress and in hair; like Gaffer
Gamgee after a few pints at the Green Dragon in Bywater, he is also
an inveterate contrarian, voicing objections to all conceivable
political positions; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Kowis is further possessed of a hobbit's cunning
and fortitude, which was fully in evidence when he led an effort to
bail the chief of staff out of jail after a clerical error led to his
mistaken arrest; also an avid outdoorsman, Mr. Kowis hopes to meet
his end, many years from now, in an epic, hand-to-paw battle against
a grizzly; and
WHEREAS, Now that he has his college degree securely in his
rear-view mirror, Adam Kowis will no doubt use his considerable
talents to succeed wherever his quest may next take him, and it is
most fitting to recognize him for a job well done; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby commend Adam Kowis for his service as an intern
in the office of State Representative Debbie Riddle and extend to
him sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Kowis as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
Riddle
