 1-1           WHEREAS, The passing of Seth Chalk Guest of Amarillo on March

 1-5     1994, and will be fondly remembered for his winning personality and

 1-6     his zest for life; like many children, he was enthralled by the

 1-8     several times a day, and he also greatly enjoyed the Winnie the

 1-9     Pooh character, Tigger; and

1-10           WHEREAS, Seth was an active child who liked to play outside

1-12     avid sports fan as well, cheering his favorite tennis players and

1-13     the Dallas Cowboys to victory; this dear young boy also enjoyed

1-14     accompanying his mother on errands to the mall, where his bright

1-15     smile brought him many admirers; and

1-16           WHEREAS, All who knew and loved Seth Guest will long miss his

1-19     touched for many years to come; now, therefore, be it

1-20           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 75th Texas
