H.R. No. 95 



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, William Tremaine Head, Sr., of Austin is retiring on 
January 31, 2003, after more than a decade of dedicated service to 
members of the Texas House of Representatives; and
	WHEREAS, He began his employment at the State Capitol on 
January 1, 1989, in the capacity of security specialist; 
affectionately known as a "car guard," Mr. Head soon endeared 
himself to many state officials and employees of the Capitol 
Complex with his quick wit and friendly manner; and
	WHEREAS, Born in Greenville on January 14, 1918, Mr. Head 
attended school in Denison before graduating from Gainesville High 
School in 1936; he then held various jobs, pursued business 
courses, and in 1940 joined the Texas National Guard; during World 
War II he served in the Army Air Force and was stationed for a time 
on the island of Iwo Jima, where his wing received the Presidential 
Unit Citation; and
	WHEREAS, In February 1946, Mr. Head embarked on a 35-1/2-year 
career with American Airlines; over the course of his tenure with 
the company, he worked at several locations in the Metroplex and 
spent more than two decades in San Antonio; he retired from the 
airline in 1981 and several years later moved to Austin, where he 
served as manager of the law office of former Texas land 
commissioner Bob Armstrong; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Head exchanged wedding vows with the former 
Marie Pace, daughter of State Representative and Mrs. Jim Pace, in 
1942; the couple were blessed with a son, William Tremaine Head, 
Jr., and enjoyed a warm and rewarding marriage for 55 years until 
her passing; and
	WHEREAS, This esteemed gentleman later met and fell in love 
with native Texan Anne Broyles Bridges, a retired educator; the 
couple married in 2000, and their children now include Bill Head, 
Jr., and Drew Franklin Bridges; and
	WHEREAS, Retirement will afford Mr. Head, who has just 
celebrated his 85th birthday this month, the welcome opportunity to 
travel with his lovely wife and to spend more time with loved ones; 
and
	WHEREAS, During his years of service to the Lone Star State, 
Bill Head has acted with integrity and commitment, and it is a 
privilege to join his family, friends, and colleagues in honoring 
him at this time; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate William Tremaine Head, Sr., on the 
occasion of his retirement as a security specialist with the house 
of representatives and extend to him heartfelt best wishes for 
happiness and good fortune; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Head as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.

                                                                          Puente
