SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 19
WHEREAS, When they married many years ago, Lou and Jim
"Corky" Dawson placed great faith and trust in one another, and
they have been amply rewarded, as they are celebrating their 50th
wedding anniversary; and
WHEREAS, Lou and Corky Dawson were married on January 21,
1967, after a whirlwind romance and short engagement; they had
met one another on a blind date in the fall of 1966 at West Texas
State University; and

education, he as a coach and she as a teacher, before launching a
successful Shaklee business; they went on to establish a thriving
State Farm Insurance agency in Canyon that set numerous sales
records and received multiple awards; they retired and moved to
Granbury in 2003; and
WHEREAS, They have been blessed with a wonderful family;
their sons, Jimmy Don, John David, and Joe De, and their seven
grandchildren have been a source of much pride and joy; and
WHEREAS, Over the years, they have grown stronger in their
love and devotion as together they have experienced the joys and
sorrows of everyday living; the long and happy union of Lou and
Corky Dawson is truly an inspiration to others; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
