WHEREAS, The summer of 2003 has proven to be a memorable one
for Roger Hulsey and the entire Hulsey family, with the grand
opening of River Hill Bar-B-Que on August 9th; and
WHEREAS, The opening of this establishment represents the
realization of a long-term dream of Mr. Hulsey and the many others
who have encouraged him throughout the years to turn this dream into
reality; and
WHEREAS, This distinguished husband, father, grandfather,
Air Force veteran, and native Texan refined his natural talent for
special recipes and blends made from scratch into a popular pastime
amongst his friends, family, and co-workers, earning him the
affectionate and respected moniker of "The Pit Master" and making
him the creator of many fine culinary treats, the most prized of
which is his Pit Master Bar-B-Que Sauce; and
WHEREAS, Roger Hulsey has displayed the unique character of
following and cultivating a dream of opening his own restaurant
throughout his years on the line and up through the ranks with
Anderson Hickey/Hayworth Industries, retiring with 27 years of
service after attaining the position of plant manager; and
WHEREAS, He built this dream much like he carefully designed
and built the pits that helped him gain his fame; first "BERTHA",
and then "BJ" for Bertha Junior, a pit on wheels, and now "BEWLEY
MAE," the pit that proudly adorns his new restaurant near his home
in Carthage, Texas; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby honor, congratulate, and
extend best wishes to Mr. Roger Hulsey and his family--including
his wife, Juanita, and his children, Mark, David, Kevin,
Christopher, and Amber--upon the occasion of the opening of River
Hill Bar-B-Que; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Hulsey family as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
