R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Following in the footsteps of her grandfather and 
two aunts, all of whom taught school for 50 years, LaRue Dorsey is 
concluding more than half a century in education with her 
retirement from the Waco Independent School District in 2003; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Dorsey earned her bachelor of arts degree from 
Mary Allen College in 1952 and her master of education degree from 
Texas Southern University in 1955; she began her career by teaching 
fifth grade in Stamford, and since 1960 she has taught fifth and 
sixth grades and pre-kindergarten in the Waco ISD; and
	WHEREAS, Encouraging her students to excel by providing a 
supportive and challenging classroom environment, Ms. Dorsey has 
worked to instill a lifelong love of learning in each child that she 
has taught; she is a motivator who helps the young boys and girls 
develop self-confidence and the awareness that they are capable of 
great achievements; and
	WHEREAS, Ms. Dorsey has received numerous awards and 
recognitions, but undoubtedly her greatest reward comes from 
knowing that she has positively affected the lives of hundreds of 
young Texans and that her influence can be felt through many 
generations; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate LaRue Dorsey on the occasion of her 
retirement and extend to her warmest best wishes for future 
happiness; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Ms. Dorsey as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
