R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, John and Elsie Nutt of Mercedes celebrated their 
74th wedding anniversary on March 18, 2004, marking a memorable 
occasion in their long and happy union; and
	WHEREAS, This loving couple first met at a grocery store in 
Kalamazoo, where Mr. Nutt worked as assistant manager; the former 
Elsie Johnson entered the market in search of flour and departed 
having met the man with whom she would share the rest of her life; 
and
	WHEREAS, The pair were joined in matrimony on March 18, 1930, 
one day after Mrs. Nutt's 18th birthday, and together they have 
nurtured a warm and fulfilling relationship based on mutual love, 
respect, and admiration and made richer by the blessing of 
children; and
	WHEREAS, Now retired, Mr. Nutt served his community for many 
years as a police officer and worked his way up the ranks to become 
head of the criminal division; Mrs. Nutt worked out of her home, 
tailoring and making arts and crafts, and devoted much of her time 
to raising her children and caring for her husband; and
	WHEREAS, The couple have been active in a host of worthy 
organizations since their union, including the Shriners, the 
Masons, Girl Scouts, and Cub Scouts, and were also valued 
congregants of Simpson United Methodist Church in Kalamazoo; and
	WHEREAS, John and Elsie Nutt have fashioned the trials and 
triumphs of more than seven decades into a vibrant and rewarding 
partnership, demonstrating a deeply rooted commitment to one 
another, their family, and the institution of marriage; now, 
therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby honor John and Elsie Nutt 
on the occasion of their 74th wedding anniversary and extend to them 
sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Nutt as an expression of high regard by 
the Texas House of Representatives.
