H.R. No. 3087
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to
honor John Hefley for his outstanding work as an intern in the
office of State Representative Vicki Truitt; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Hefley helped to prepare Representative Truitt
for the floor each day, drafted bill analyses, and prepared
casework; he supported the representative's work on the Public
Health Committee, and he took on many other tasks as the need arose;
and
WHEREAS, The son of Richard and Kathy Hefley and the
snazziest good ol' boy in the history of the office, this
knowledgeable and outgoing young Texan is also a walking Wikipedia
of random information; once you wind Mr. Hefley up and let him go on
a subject he's passionate about--for example, the little-known fact
that his hometown of Shamrock is the most tornado-prone spot in
Texas--you can go away, have a cup of coffee, and come back, and
he'll just be getting around to the extremely interesting fact that
between 1950 and 2004, 67 funnels touched down or passed within 20
miles of this area of Wheeler County; and
WHEREAS, Through this mastery of facts, as well as his
energy, talent, and hard work, John Hefley has made important
contributions to the legislative process and to the constituents of
House District 98 during the current session, and Representative
Truitt is personally grateful for his dedication, professionalism,
teamwork, and valuable assistance; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
Legislature hereby commend John Hefley for his service as an intern
in the office of State Representative Vicki Truitt 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. Hefley as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
Truitt
