| 5 | 6 | | WHEREAS, September 6, 2019, marks the 50th wedding |
|---|
| 6 | 7 | | anniversary of Representative Tom Craddick and Nadine Craddick, and |
|---|
| 7 | 8 | | this joyous event provides a fitting opportunity to reflect on |
|---|
| 8 | 9 | | their remarkable journey together as husband and wife; and |
|---|
| 9 | 10 | | WHEREAS, Tom Craddick and the former Nadine Nayfa met in the |
|---|
| 10 | 11 | | library at Texas Tech University, where they both were students; |
|---|
| 11 | 12 | | Tom earned his bachelor's degree in business and his MBA from Texas |
|---|
| 12 | 13 | | Tech, and Nadine completed her bachelor's degree in education at |
|---|
| 13 | 14 | | the university; in 1969, Nadine began teaching while Tom began his |
|---|
| 14 | 15 | | first term in the Texas House, and as the pair looked forward to |
|---|
| 15 | 16 | | their September wedding date, they found that the obligations of |
|---|
| 16 | 17 | | the Texas Legislature can interfere with the best-laid plans; the |
|---|
| 17 | 18 | | governor called two consecutive special sessions that summer, the |
|---|
| 18 | 19 | | second of which didn't end until three days after their wedding |
|---|
| 19 | 20 | | date, and although the ceremony proceeded, their honeymoon was |
|---|
| 20 | 21 | | delayed; so began their rewarding marriage, and in the years that |
|---|
| 21 | 22 | | followed, the Craddicks welcomed the arrival of two children, |
|---|
| 22 | 23 | | Christi and Thomas, while working tirelessly together in behalf of |
|---|
| 23 | 24 | | their community and the Lone Star State; and |
|---|
| 24 | 25 | | WHEREAS, Representative Craddick made state history in 2003, |
|---|
| 25 | 26 | | when he became the first Republican speaker of the House in over 130 |
|---|
| 26 | 27 | | years; he served in that role until 2009, and during his tenure, the |
|---|
| 27 | 28 | | $10 billion budget shortfall was transformed into a surplus of |
|---|
| 28 | 29 | | equal size; moreover, the legislature passed landmark tort reform |
|---|
| 29 | 30 | | and the largest property tax cut in state history; his commitment to |
|---|
| 30 | 31 | | higher education has greatly benefited such institutions as Midland |
|---|
| 31 | 32 | | College, The University of Texas Permian Basin, and the Texas Tech |
|---|
| 32 | 33 | | University Health Sciences Center; in addition, he has helped |
|---|
| 33 | 34 | | effect far-reaching developments in the areas of energy, health |
|---|
| 34 | 35 | | care, mental health, transportation infrastructure, and the |
|---|
| 35 | 36 | | prevention of distracted driving; he is also a respected member of |
|---|
| 36 | 37 | | the business community as owner of Craddick Properties and |
|---|
| 37 | 38 | | president of Craddick Incorporated and as a sales representative |
|---|
| 38 | 39 | | for Anchor Drilling Fluids USA; and |
|---|
| 39 | 40 | | WHEREAS, Mrs. Craddick has served Midland in a host of |
|---|
| 40 | 41 | | leadership roles over the years, among them chair of the Midland |
|---|
| 41 | 42 | | Chamber of Commerce and charter member of the Council Against |
|---|
| 42 | 43 | | Substance Abuse and the Midland-Odessa Transportation Alliance |
|---|
| 43 | 44 | | board; furthermore, she helped found Midland County Families in |
|---|
| 44 | 45 | | Action and was a member of the Midland Hotel/Motel Tax Advisory |
|---|
| 45 | 46 | | Board; at the state level, she served on the Governor's Commission |
|---|
| 46 | 47 | | for Women and as First Lady of the Texas House, she raised private |
|---|
| 47 | 48 | | funds for the renovation of the Speaker's Apartment and Members |
|---|
| 48 | 49 | | Lounge and oversaw the project; the Texas Historical Commission |
|---|
| 49 | 50 | | recognized her efforts with the prestigious Chairman's Award; a |
|---|
| 50 | 51 | | sustaining member of the Republican Women's Club, she has been very |
|---|
| 51 | 52 | | active in the party, serving as a state delegate since 1971; she is |
|---|
| 52 | 53 | | employed as vice president and secretary of Craddick Incorporated; |
|---|
| 53 | 54 | | and |
|---|
| 54 | 55 | | WHEREAS, Widely admired for their philanthropy, the |
|---|
| 55 | 56 | | Craddicks have established the Tom and Nadine Craddick Presidential |
|---|
| 56 | 57 | | Scholarship Endowment at Texas Tech, the Nadine and Tom Craddick |
|---|
| 57 | 58 | | Distinguished Chair in Medical Science at The University of Texas |
|---|
| 58 | 59 | | Southwestern Medical Center, and the Nadine Craddick Endowment Fund |
|---|
| 59 | 60 | | at Midland Memorial Hospital; active in their faith community as |
|---|
| 60 | 61 | | well, they have received papal recognition as members of the |
|---|
| 61 | 62 | | Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem; and |
|---|
| 62 | 63 | | WHEREAS, Through the years, the Craddicks have been blessed |
|---|
| 63 | 64 | | with three grandchildren, Thomas, Claire, and Catherine; the couple |
|---|
| 64 | 65 | | enjoy spending time with their cherished family at their Horseshoe |
|---|
| 65 | 66 | | Bay retreat, and they love to travel, expand their knowledge, and |
|---|
| 66 | 67 | | explore their love of art; and |
|---|
| 67 | 68 | | WHEREAS, The half century of marriage that Tom and Nadine |
|---|
| 68 | 69 | | Craddick have shared is eloquent affirmation of the meaning of |
|---|
| 69 | 70 | | love, and the strength of their union and of their commitment to the |
|---|
| 70 | 71 | | greater good is an inspiration to all who know them; now, therefore, |
|---|
| 71 | 72 | | be it |
|---|
| 72 | 73 | | RESOLVED, That the 86th Legislature of the State of Texas |
|---|
| 73 | 74 | | hereby congratulate Tom and Nadine Craddick on their 50th wedding |
|---|
| 74 | 75 | | anniversary and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued |
|---|
| 75 | 76 | | happiness; and, be it further |

|---|
| 77 | 78 | | prepared for the Craddicks as an expression of high regard by the |
|---|
| 78 | 79 | | Texas House of Representatives and Senate. |
