 1-2                         SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1227
 1-3           WHEREAS, In the waning hours of the 77th Legislature, it should
 1-4     be acknowledged that Betty King has assembled an excellent central
 1-5     staff in whom she can take great pride, and among the most outstanding
 1-6     of these employees is Willis Littlefield of the Senate Copy Center; and
 1-7           WHEREAS, Throughout his career in the Senate, Willis has
 1-8     consistently displayed the same loyalty to the members of this body
 1-9     as has his beloved mentor, Betty King; and
1-10           WHEREAS, Due to his hard work and dedication, the Copy Center is
1-11     an asset to the entire Senate; a true team player, Willis has offered
1-12     to work long, hard overtime hours to help those who need him; and
1-13           WHEREAS, Since he joined the Senate staff in 1971, Willis has
1-14     cheerfully done whatever was required to get the job done; he has been
1-15     known to leave a Bells of Joy performance in order to run his by now
1-16     anthropomorphic machines, B. K. Boss and Big John; and
1-17           WHEREAS, Few who know Willis have not been heartened by his
1-18     exuberance and his abundant cheerfulness; he has truly earned the
1-19     friendship and affection of his fellow Senate employees; now,
1-20     therefore, be it
1-21           RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
1-22     77th Legislature, hereby commend Willis Littlefield for his
 2-1     superlative service to the Texas Senate and congratulate him on
 2-2     being the first administrative recipient of the Betty King Public
 2-3     Service Award; and, be it further
 2-4           RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
 2-5     Willis as an expression of sincere gratitude for a job well done.
