By Holzheauser H.R. No. 1207 75R16853 WMS-D R E S O L U T I O N 1-1 WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is proud to honor 1-2 Charles Bredwell III for his notable service to the State of Texas 1-3 as a legislative aide to the Honorable Steve Holzheauser; and 1-4 WHEREAS, A native of Saint Louis, Missouri, this exceptional 1-5 individual began his higher education at the University of 1-6 Missouri, where he attained his bachelor of science degree in 1-7 political science; however, in his boundless desire for 1-8 self-improvement, he answered the siren call of the Lone Star State 1-9 and continued his pursuit of academic excellence at Texas A&M 1-10 University in the hope that his association with that fine 1-11 institution would make him welcome anywhere within the bounds of 1-12 Texas; and 1-13 WHEREAS, In his younger days Mr. Bredwell was afflicted with 1-14 a desire for the limelight, and his considerable need for attention 1-15 led him to accept a solo role in the touring company of "Up With 1-16 People," although the experience was a memorable one, he realized 1-17 that his true calling lay elsewhere; and 1-18 WHEREAS, Mr. Bredwell found himself drawn like a moth to a 1-19 flame to the Texas Legislature, and since 1985 he has doggedly 1-20 labored behind the scenes at the Texas House of Representatives; 1-21 his fearless tenacity as a legislative aide to Representative 1-22 Holzheauser has often led others to confuse Mr. Bredwell with his 1-23 beloved pet, Gordo, a certified Bosnian war dog; and 1-24 WHEREAS, Like true love, the course of his relationship with 2-1 public service has not always run smoothly, and his encounter with 2-2 a disgruntled citizen who mistakenly identified him as Mayor Kenny 2-3 Marchant and unjustly harangued him at length, impressed on him the 2-4 potential danger of holding elected office; and 2-5 WHEREAS, Having gained acceptance as an adopted member of the 2-6 Holzheauser family by one and all, he takes great pleasure in his 2-7 role as "Uncle Buck" to Craig, Brittany, and Justin Holzheauser, 2-8 and he happily shares with them his encyclopedic knowledge of the 2-9 legislative process and the sport of baseball, although he draws 2-10 the line at parting with anything from his treasured sports card 2-11 collection; and 2-12 WHEREAS, Throughout his many years in the great State of 2-13 Texas, Charles Bredwell III has made every effort to be worthy of 2-14 the land he now calls home, and his herculean accomplishments in 2-15 this regard make Mr. Bredwell worthy of special legislative praise 2-16 and recognition at this time; now, therefore, be it 2-17 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 75th Texas 2-18 Legislature hereby honor Charles Bredwell III for his many years of 2-19 exemplary service to Representative Steve Holzheauser and the 2-20 entirety of the chamber's membership, and extend to him sincere 2-21 best wishes for continued happiness and success in the years to 2-22 come; and, be it further 2-23 RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 2-24 prepared for Charles Bredwell III as an expression of highest 2-25 regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
