R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Ashley Donaldson, a 15-year-old student at Shepton
High School in Plano, demonstrated admirable integrity in trying to
locate the owner of a large sum of money that she found in a parking
lot in February 2011; and
WHEREAS, While at the Pavilion Shopping Center in Dallas, Ms.
Donaldson picked up an envelope that was lying on the ground and saw
that it contained $2,000 in cash; rather than keeping it herself,
she reported the discovery to a nearby bank and turned the matter
over to police; and
WHEREAS, When her values were tested during this experience,
Ms. Donaldson showed herself to be an individual of remarkable
honesty who put her concern for the welfare of another person before
her own interests, and she is indeed deserving of special
recognition for her actions; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby commend Ashley Donaldson for reporting her
discovery of an envelope containing $2,000 and extend to her
sincere best wishes for all the good fortune she so richly deserves;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Ms. Donaldson as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
