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.
