    1-1                           SENATE RESOLUTION
    1-2        WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is proud to
    1-3  recognize James Cook who was recently honored after he had
    1-4  been instrumental in saving the lives of three little girls
    1-5  and their grandmother during a fire; and
    1-6        WHEREAS, James, an eighth grader at Wills Point Middle
    1-7  School, was walking his dog at 5:30 a.m. near the trailer where
    1-8  he lives with his grandmother when he noticed smoke and flames
    1-9  coming from the trailer house across the street; and
   1-10        WHEREAS, A quick-thinking young man, he ran to his trailer
   1-11  house to have his grandmother call 911; he then ran to the burning
   1-12  trailer and began beating on the door to awaken anyone inside; and
   1-13        WHEREAS, The noise woke a woman sleeping inside who rescued
   1-14  two of her granddaughters; a neighbor saved the third little girl
   1-15  by helping her out through a window; and
   1-16        WHEREAS, James, who modestly played down his role as a hero,
   1-17  has clearly distinguished himself as a most alert and courageous
   1-18  youth and is certainly deserving of legislative recognition; now,
   1-19  therefore, be it
   1-20        RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
   1-21  74th Legislature, hereby commend the quick and valiant actions
   1-22  of James Cook in helping a family escape from a fire; and, be
   1-23  it further
    2-1        RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
    2-2  him as an expression of the high regard of the Texas Senate.
