H.R. No. 727
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The University of Texas at Austin is an institution
of exceptional standing in the Lone Star State, engendering a
strong sense of pride among its alumni that stays with them long
after they graduate; and
WHEREAS, While UT alumni have distinguished themselves in
myriad fields of endeavor, they forever remain Longhorns who carry
with them special memories of their time at UT and draw upon the
knowledge, skills, and experiences they acquired in their years of
study; and
WHEREAS, In the time that has passed since the 85th Texas
Legislative Session, we have bidden farewell to a number of UT
alumni, and it is fitting that we pause to remember their lives and
achievements; and
WHEREAS, Gone but never to be forgotten, these men and women
were cherished family members, and many became role models in their
professions and leaders in their communities; often loyally,
vocally, and even boisterously supportive of their alma mater
throughout their lives, some former Longhorns took on active roles
in alumni organizations and committees, where they shared their
time and talents to help guide their beloved university toward a
still brighter future; and
WHEREAS, Regardless of where they ventured to make their mark
on the world, these UT graduates were connected by the common thread
of having attended one of the best universities in the nation, and
they have left behind legacies to be treasured by their loved ones
and fellow alumni; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the lives of the alumni of The
University of Texas who have passed away since the last legislative
session and extend deepest sympathy to all who mourn their passing.
