By Kuempel H.R. No. 1141 77R17012 JKB-F R E S O L U T I O N 1-1 WHEREAS, May 18, 2001, marks the last day of employment for 1-2 Brittney L. Grigg in the office of Representative Edmund Kuempel, 1-3 and this occasion provides a fitting opportunity to honor Ms. Grigg 1-4 for her service to the constituents of Guadalupe and Comal 1-5 counties, her sharp tongue to her fellow office workers, and her 1-6 "cutie-pie smile" that she saves for the boss; and 1-7 WHEREAS, The "quite bright" Seguin Matador ventured after 1-8 high school graduation to College Station, where she caught the 1-9 Aggie spirit, and her blood now runs maroon; though considered 1-10 "afflicted" by some who enter the office, she has maintained 1-11 composure and has taken it all in stride as "let nothing ruffle 1-12 you" is her motto; and 1-13 WHEREAS, Ms. Grigg has always lived by the saying, "a closed 1-14 mouth gathers no feet," and when her mouth does open, the comment 1-15 is quick and on target; though she has on occasion been timed by 1-16 Capitol regular Cliff Johnson to determine how long it will take 1-17 her to make an utterance after he enters the office, even he will 1-18 undoubtedly miss her; and 1-19 WHEREAS, The Kuempel staff had to sacrifice their kitchen for 1-20 Ms. Grigg to have a desk, but her presence has been well worth the 1-21 inconvenience, for she has proved to be so adept at filing that she 1-22 has even been known to file an amendment before Representative 1-23 Kuempel has presented the original measure on the floor; and 1-24 WHEREAS, Ms. Grigg has been unsuccessful in finding a man 2-1 worthy of her wit and charm, frustrating several matchmakers, but 2-2 surely, one day "her type" will come along; and 2-3 WHEREAS, She cheats on computer games, and has been duly 2-4 introduced to "reality TV" - "Days of Our Lives," having picked up 2-5 on the intricate plot lines in a short period of time; despite her 2-6 many foibles, she has been a bright spot in the office and will be 2-7 greatly missed by Representative Kuempel, Kerri, Paige, and Sally; 2-8 now, therefore, be it 2-9 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 77th Texas 2-10 Legislature hereby commend Brittney L. Grigg on her outstanding 2-11 tenure with the office of State Representative Edmund Kuempel and 2-12 extend to her sincere best wishes for great success with all of her 2-13 future endeavors; and, be it further 2-14 RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 2-15 prepared for Ms. Grigg as an expression of high regard by the Texas 2-16 House of Representatives.
