 2-6           WHEREAS, For a half-century, John and Georgia Hasler have

 2-7     shared a warm and affectionate union filled with many happy times

 2-8     and cherished family memories; built on a solid foundation of

 2-9     mutual love, trust, and support, their marriage has been a source

2-10     of joy and inspiration to the many friends and family of this

2-11     fortunate pair; now, therefore, be it

2-12           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 75th Texas
