R E S O L U T I O N
1-1 WHEREAS, The retirement of Lyndon Anderson as the associate
1-2 commissioner for property and casualty for the Texas Department of
1-3 Insurance (TDI) brings to a close the career of a remarkable public
1-4 servant, and he is truly worthy of special praise and recognition
1-5 at this time; and
1-6 WHEREAS, A native of Georgetown, Mr. Anderson worked for the
1-7 Texas Insurance Checking Office for six years before joining TDI in
1-8 September 1968 as a rater on the mobile fire rating crew; during
1-9 his career he held several prestigious positions, including
1-10 district supervisor of property rating for the Dallas area,
1-11 director of inland marine insurance and commercial multiperil,
1-12 manager of the insurance lines section, and deputy commissioner in
1-13 charge of the property insurance activity; and
1-14 WHEREAS, Partly to compensate for the impending loss of
1-15 Mr. Anderson's talents when he retires on February 5, 1999, the
1-16 Regulation and Safety division was reorganized last year, enabling
1-17 him to spend the remainder of his time at TDI working as a
1-18 consultant and mentor to a new generation of managers; and
1-19 WHEREAS, This esteemed gentleman has long been considered a
1-20 valuable source of institutional knowledge as he possesses a broad
1-21 understanding of the entire property and casualty spectrum,
1-22 including title insurance; on numerous occasions he has served as a
1-23 resource witness and educator on insurance issues to many members
1-24 of the Texas Legislature, earning the respect and admiration of
2-1 many members; and
2-2 WHEREAS, Following his well-deserved retirement from TDI,
2-3 Mr. Anderson and his beloved wife, Pam, plan to continue operating
2-4 an antique business they own in Georgetown; and
2-5 WHEREAS, For 30 years, Lyndon Anderson has distinguished
2-6 himself as a public servant of ability and integrity, and it is
2-7 indeed appropriate to pay tribute to him and recognize his many
2-8 contributions to his fellow Texans; now, therefore, be it
2-9 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 76th Texas
2-10 Legislature hereby recognize Lyndon Anderson on the occasion of his
2-11 retirement and extend to him sincere best wishes for success and
2-12 happiness in the years to come; and, be it further
2-13 RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
2-14 prepared for Mr. Anderson as an expression of high regard by the
2-15 Texas House of Representatives.
