from Texas Woman's University in 1958, and that same year, she began
teaching at her alma mater, Ursuline Academy; she enjoyed a long
tenure with the Laredo Independent School District until her
retirement in 1994; and

Mrs. Garcia 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 87th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Ruben and Naomi Garcia on their
61st wedding anniversary and extend to them sincere best wishes for
continued happiness; and, be it further
