practice of law in 1988 and retiring in 1995; Mrs. Garcia graduated |
|
|
from Texas Woman's University in 1958, and that same year, she began |
|

tenure with the Laredo Independent School District until her |
|
|
retirement in 1994; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The more than six decades of marriage that Mr. 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 |
|
|
