SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

 1-2     Plano's Citizen of the Year, and this distinguished woman's

 1-3     lifetime of service to her fellow Texans is indeed worthy of

 1-4     special praise and recognition at this time; and

 1-5           WHEREAS, Mrs. Seale's commitment to helping others was

 1-6     evident from her choice of profession; after receiving her

 1-7     bachelor's degree from The University of Texas at Austin, Mrs.

1-11     College; and

1-12           WHEREAS, Her career as a teacher and administrator represents

1-13     only a small fraction of Mrs. Seale's contributions; her active

1-14     involvement in the life of her hometown has encompassed dozens of

1-15     organizations, projects, and agencies, and among the groups that

1-16     have benefited from her knowledgeable leadership are the Junior

1-21     Christian Reform Church, and she has drawn strength and inspiration

1-22     from this community of worship; in lending her outstanding

1-23     organizational skills to a number of the church's committees, she

 2-1     has helped the church achieve its aims while affirming her own

 2-2     faith; and

 2-3           WHEREAS, Though she can take justifiable pride in her many

 2-4     impressive civic and professional accomplishments, Mrs. Seale's

 2-5     greatest source of joy and sustenance is her loving, close-knit

 2-6     family, and she and her husband Don take great pride in their two

 2-7     sons, Mark and Greg; and

 2-8           WHEREAS, In dedicating herself to the betterment of the world

 2-9     around her, Mary Anne Seale has earned great affection and respect,

2-10     not only from her family and many friends, but also from countless

2-11     neighbors and fellow citizens, and it is fitting that she be

2-12     honored for her noteworthy efforts; now, therefore, be it

2-13           RESOLVED, That the 75th Legislature of the State of Texas

2-14     hereby congratulate Mary Anne Seale on her selection as Plano's
