5	5	WHEREAS, Black History Month observances are taking place
6	6	during February 2009, and this occasion provides a fitting
7	7	opportunity to pay tribute to celebrated rodeo rider Harold Cash of
8	8	Texas City for his achievements as a champion cowboy and community
9	9	leader; and
10	10	WHEREAS, Born in Galveston County on December 26, 1948,
11	11	Harold Cash grew up during the era when the civil rights movement
12	12	was bringing about significant changes in the United States, and he
13	13	drew inspiration from the campaign for greater equality; and
14	14	WHEREAS, Mr. Cash began his rodeo career in 1967 as a
15	15	competitor in the All-American Rodeo Association; he won acclaim
16	16	for his exceptional abilities in bareback riding, considered one of
17	17	the most demanding rodeo events; courageously riding powerful,
18	18	untamed horses without the benefit of a saddle or reins, he turned
19	19	in championship-winning performances that thrilled rodeo fans in
20	20	major cities all across the nation and earned the lasting respect of
21	21	his fellow cowboys; and
22	22	WHEREAS, The success Mr. Cash enjoyed in the rodeo arena made
23	23	him a role model, and he has since devoted himself to serving as a
24	24	mentor to area young people; he has placed a special emphasis on
25	25	providing educational assistance to those of limited financial
26	26	means, and his efforts have included seeking support for
27	27	scholarship programs and other initiatives among the members of the
28	28	rodeo community; and
29	29	WHEREAS, Mr. Cash was a longtime employee at Amoco, and he
30	30	retired from the company after 27 years of service; in recent years,
31	31	his activities have included work with the Over the Hill and Future
32	32	Cowboy Rodeo Association, based in Texas City, and his
33	33	contributions to that nonprofit organization have provided further
34	34	benefits to the residents of Galveston County; and
35	35	WHEREAS, Harold Cash is a living legend who has helped
36	36	underscore the significant role that African Americans have played
37	37	in the sport of rodeo and in other aspects of the Lone Star State's
38	38	western heritage, and his many accomplishments are indeed deserving
39	39	of recognition; now, therefore, be it
40	40	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
41	41	Legislature hereby pay tribute to Harold Cash for his
42	42	accomplishments as a rodeo cowboy and civic leader and extend to him
43	43	sincere best wishes for continued success and happiness; and, be it
44	44	further
45	45	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
46	46	prepared for Mr. Cash as an expression of high regard by the Texas
47	47	House of Representatives.
