R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, S. V. and Faye Casey recently commemorated their 
60th wedding anniversary with a special celebration hosted by their 
children in Horseshoe Bay; and

Force Base in Sherman, Mr. and Mrs. Casey have been blessed with 
three children as well as a loving and supportive extended family; 
and
	WHEREAS, While Mr. Casey was serving his country as a B-17 
pilot during World War II, his plane was shot down over 
enemy-occupied France, and he was listed as missing-in-action for 
three months; during that period, this courageous soldier crossed 
the Pyrenees Mountains on foot and escaped to freedom, no doubt 
carrying the thought of his worried bride deep in his heart 
throughout the perilous journey; and
	WHEREAS, After the war, Mr. Casey enjoyed a successful career 
with Mobil Oil Company, where he was employed until his retirement 
in 1976, while Mrs. Casey was employed with San Jacinto Junior High 
School and Lee High School for many years; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Casey are valued members of their 
community and have been devoted congregants of the First Christian 
Church since 1956; he also belongs to the Air Force Escape and 
Evasion Society and the Confederate Air Force; and
	WHEREAS, For 60 years, this loving couple have enjoyed an 
enduring union filled with many happy times and cherished family 
memories, and it is a privilege to honor them for all they have 
accomplished in their life together; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate S. V. and Faye Casey on the joyous 
occasion of their 60th wedding anniversary and extend to them 
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Casey as an expression of high regard by 
the Texas House of Representatives.
