R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The dedication ceremony for the Garden of Memories 
at Rabbit Hill School in Georgetown offers a fitting occasion to pay 
homage to the life of school cofounder Robert "Bob" Clyde 
Williamson, who passed away on April 30, 2002; and
	WHEREAS, Born on November 9, 1932, in San Jose, California, 
Mr. Williamson served from 1953 to 1957 in the United States Air 
Force; on November 24, 1956, he married the love of his life, JoAnn 
Sweet, and over the years they became the proud parents of two 
children, Debi and Robert David, and a grandson, Robert Jeffrey 
Williamson; and
	WHEREAS, A man of strong faith, Mr. Williamson earned a 
master's degree in childhood education from The University of Texas 
at Austin and found a deeply rewarding lifetime ministry in the 
education of young children; together with his wife, he established 
Rabbit Hill School in Georgetown and Rocking W Camp in Florence; and
	WHEREAS, Rabbit Hill School, a private Christian school that 
offers instruction through the fourth grade, has consistently 
produced students who are high academic achievers with strong moral 
fiber, and this success can be directly attributed to the vision, 
hard work, and commitment that Mr. and Mrs. Williamson demonstrated 
throughout the years; and
	WHEREAS, In addition to his outstanding efforts in the realm 
of education, Mr. Williamson gave generously of his time and energy 
to the First Baptist Church in Georgetown, where he served as 
deacon; his other affiliations included The Ex-Students' 
Association of The University of Texas, the Georgetown Chamber of 
Commerce, and the National Federation of Independent Business; and
	WHEREAS, For 37 years Bob Williamson worked to uplift the 
minds and brighten the hopes of countless young people, and his 
achievements will continue to benefit every student who passes 
through the doors of Rabbit Hill School; widely and warmly admired 
for his contributions as an educator, his devotion to his family, 
and the zest and humor he brought to all his endeavors, he will be 
cherished always by the countless individuals whose lives he 
touched; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby commemorate the dedication of the Garden of 
Memories at Rabbit Hill School and pay tribute to the life of Robert 
"Bob" Clyde Williamson, who, with his wife, JoAnn, rendered 
immeasurable service to the people of Williamson County.
