By:  Hilderbran                                        H.R. No. 220
       73R3277 BNL-D
                                  R E S O L U T I O N
    1-1        WHEREAS, Danya McIntyre recently completed the demanding
    1-2  curriculum of the legal assistant certificate program at The
    1-3  University of Texas at Austin, thus achieving a new level of
    1-4  professional excellence and earning the right to demand a hefty
    1-5  salary increase from her benevolent boss, State Representative
    1-6  Harvey Hilderbran; and
    1-7        WHEREAS, Mrs. McIntyre's hard-earned legal expertise will now
    1-8  make her even more indispensable to Mr. Hilderbran, if this is
    1-9  possible, but it will probably not effect great change in the
   1-10  condition of her desk; while Mrs. McIntyre takes great pride in her
   1-11  organizational skills, her desk has been designated as the next
   1-12  target in the ongoing Capitol restoration project, although
   1-13  engineers caution that sorting through the piles on her desk may
   1-14  take slightly longer--and involve more manpower--than the
   1-15  excavation and construction of the Capitol Extension; and
   1-16        WHEREAS, Mrs. McIntyre originally came to Mr. Hilderbran's
   1-17  office four years ago to discuss water concerns with the newly
   1-18  elected representative; after several months, it became apparent
   1-19  that she had no intention of leaving, so Mr. Hilderbran gave her a
   1-20  job; and
   1-21        WHEREAS, Once hired, this remarkable woman became an
   1-22  invaluable part of the representative's staff; she never let on
   1-23  that she knew more of Mr. Hilderbran's constituents than he did,
   1-24  thus allowing him the comforting delusion that he was still in
    2-1  charge; and
    2-2        WHEREAS, As the centripetal force holding the office
    2-3  together, Mrs. McIntyre has been successful in fending off the
    2-4  forces of chaos that seek to engulf all legislative offices during
    2-5  each odd-numbered year, and in doing so she has created a kinder,
    2-6  gentler office for Mr. Hilderbran and his staff; and
    2-7        WHEREAS, Mrs. McIntyre was not content with being utterly
    2-8  irreplaceable, however, so she bravely fought the notorious
    2-9  University of Texas bureaucratic red tape to successfully enroll in
   2-10  the legal assistant certificate program; and
   2-11        WHEREAS, Once enrolled, she proved to be an intelligent and
   2-12  industrious scholar who impressed instructors and students alike as
   2-13  she mastered such difficult subjects as litigation, torts, business
   2-14  law, and legal writing; her friends and coworkers were not
   2-15  surprised, however, as they expected no less than unqualified
   2-16  success from such an outstanding individual; and
   2-17        WHEREAS, In the four years that she has served as an
   2-18  administrative assistant to Representative Harvey Hilderbran, Danya
   2-19  McIntyre has become a valued friend and highly regarded mentor to
   2-20  her colleagues, and they take great pride in her most recent
   2-21  accomplishment, as they have in each of her other successes; Danya
   2-22  McIntyre's sparkling wit, smiling face, and warm personality have
   2-23  made her a much-loved and much-appreciated member of
   2-24  Mr. Hilderbran's legislative team, and all of the people in that
   2-25  office look forward to working with her for many more years to
   2-26  come; now, therefore, be it
   2-27        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 73rd Texas
    3-1  Legislature hereby honor Danya McIntyre for her recent educational
    3-2  achievement and for her exceptional service to the legislative
    3-3  process and extend to her warmest best wishes for many more years
    3-4  of continued success and happiness; and, be it further
    3-5        RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
    3-6  prepared for Mrs. McIntyre as an expression of high regard by the
    3-7  Texas House of Representatives.
