1-1 WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is proud to
1-2 recognize one of its own, the Honorable Ronny W. Crownover, and to
1-3 welcome him back to the chamber on this day; and
1-4 WHEREAS, A fifth generation Texan, he was born in Crane on
1-5 April 13, 1945, and completed high school in Big Spring before
1-6 earning a bachelor's degree in business administration from the
1-7 University of North Texas; and
1-8 WHEREAS, Continuing his higher education, he went on to earn
1-9 a second bachelor's degree and a doctorate in veterinary medicine
1-10 from Texas A&M University and, following graduation, founded the
1-11 Lake Dallas Veterinary Clinic in Denton County, where he remains in
1-12 practice today and is the recipient of much tail wagging; and
1-13 WHEREAS, Through the years, Dr. Crownover has given
1-14 generously of his time and energy to numerous professional and
1-15 civic organizations; a member of the Texas and American Veterinary
1-16 Medical Associations, he has served in the past as president of
1-17 both the Denton County Veterinary Medical Association and the North
1-18 Texas Equine Practitioners Association, as well as a director of
1-19 Lake Cities State Bank and as president of the Lake Cities Chamber
1-20 of Commerce and the Denton High School Athletic Booster Club; and
1-21 WHEREAS, Though Dr. Crownover is beloved by all creatures
1-22 great and small, he is particularly adored by his wife of 29 years,
1-23 Myra Crownover, and their four sons, Scott, Luke, John, and Dan;
1-24 and
2-1 WHEREAS, This fine gentleman was elected to his first term as
2-2 a member of this chamber in 1998 and, while serving as a member of
2-3 this body for the first time is never easy, Dr. Crownover has
2-4 proven that he is more than up to the task; having sustained a few
2-5 licks in his life, most notably from his patients, he has stared
2-6 adversity in the face and sneered at it, and it is truly a pleasure
2-7 to honor him on his return to this chamber and to commend him on
2-8 his eagerness to get on with the business of state government; now,
2-9 therefore, be it
2-10 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 76th Texas
2-11 Legislature hereby recognize the Honorable Ronny W. Crownover,
2-12 D.V.M., as the Toughest Freshman in the Class of 1999 and extend to
2-13 him heartfelt best wishes for much happiness and good fortune in
2-14 the years to come; and, be it further
2-15 RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
2-16 prepared for Dr. Crownover as an expression of highest regard by
2-17 his colleagues in the Texas House of Representatives.
