R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, July 29, 2011, marks the 39th wedding anniversary of
Dell and Charlotte Carter, and this joyous event provides a fitting
opportunity to reflect on their memorable journey together as
husband and wife; and
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Carter initially met when they shared
an elevator at Trinity Insurance Company; that encounter led to
courtship and then, in 1972, to matrimony; the couple settled in

Sean, Starlett, Stevi, Stefani, Staci, and Sharmaine; in more
recent years, they have been blessed as well with several
grandchildren; and

St. Mary's University in her hometown and helped guide young Texans
on their path to successful adulthood as an elementary school
teacher; Mr. Carter, who hails from Beaumont and who holds a degree
from Texas A&M University, is an engineer by profession and also an
entrepreneur; in both their personal and professional lives, the
Carters have demonstrated hard work, dedication, and respect for
others; and
WHEREAS, The 39 years of marriage that Mr. and Mrs. Carter
have shared is eloquent affirmation of the meaning of love and
commitment, and their enduring union is an inspiration to all who
know them; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Dell and Charlotte Carter on their
39th wedding anniversary and extend to them sincere best wishes for
continued happiness; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
