1-1                          SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 886
 1-2           WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
 1-3     recognize the birth of William Grafton Davidson, who became an
 1-4     official Texan on November 25, 1998, at 7:50 p.m.; and
 1-5           WHEREAS, As he was his parents' firstborn, William was a
 1-6     much-anticipated baby; both mother, Sarah Duckers, and father,
 1-7     Judge Mark Davidson, were overjoyed when, at last, their son was
 1-8     safely delivered; and
 1-9           WHEREAS, A robust lad, William entered the Texas scene with
1-10     impressive credentials; via his mother's lineage, young William
1-11     will attain membership in the Sons of the Republic of Texas; and
1-12           WHEREAS, William's father, a graduate of
1-13     The University of Texas at Austin, serves as a Judge of the 11th
1-14     Judicial District and worked for former Senator Jack Ogg during the
1-15     late 1970s and early 1980s; his mother, an alumnus of the University
1-16     of Kansas, is an attorney with the prominent law firm Vinson and
1-17     Elkins; as for young William's future academic and professional
1-18     endeavors, there is much speculation about where he will spend
1-19     his undergraduate years; however, no one doubts that attending law
1-20     school is William's birthright; and
1-21           WHEREAS, William is a perfect addition to Mark and Sarah's
 2-1     home; it is only fitting that he receive an official welcome to
 2-2     this state; now, therefore, be it
 2-3           RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
 2-4     76th Legislature, hereby commend William Grafton Davidson on
 2-5     his Texas citizenship and congratulate Judge Mark Davidson and
 2-6     Sarah Duckers on the birth of their son; and, be it further
 2-7           RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
 2-8     this new Texan and his parents as an expression of high regard
 2-9     from the Texas Senate.
2-10                                                                 Lindsay
