SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 158
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Richard and Maurine Cain for their many contributions
to the City of Saint Jo, Texas; and
WHEREAS, Natives of California, Dick and Maurine Cain are
trusted professionals in the field of wildlife management
consulting; they purchased a large property on the outskirts of
Saint Jo in 2003 and established Trophy Ridge Whitetails; their
newly designed state-of-the-art breeding facilities enabled them
to pioneer significant advancements in deer management; and
WHEREAS, For more than 17 years, Dick and Maurine gave
generously of their time and talents to the benefit of the Saint
Jo community; they devoted countless hours to supporting the
Stonewall Saloon Museum, and their work on behalf of the Saint Jo
Chamber of Commerce helped to set the organization on a sound
financial foundation; their volunteer activities also included
decorating the downtown Chisholm Trail Square for holiday events
and cooking at fund-raising concession stands; and
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Cain began their Texas journey in
1970, when Dick joined the faculty of Texas A&M University as a
professor of poultry science, genetics, and game bird
management, and he went on to earn acclaim for his expertise on
quail; he and Maurine also owned a successful McDonald's
franchise for 17 years prior to their move to Saint Jo; and
WHEREAS, Dick and Maurine Cain are treasured former
Texans; they can reflect with pride on an impressive legacy of
civic service in the Saint Jo community, and their presence in
the Lone Star State is greatly missed; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
Legislature, hereby commend Dick and Maurine Cain on their lasting
contributions to the City of Saint Jo and the State of Texas and
extend to them best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
their honor.
