H.R. No. 13
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Esteemed legislators Peggy Hamric and Beverly
Woolley are kicking off the 2nd Called Session of the 79th Texas
Legislature by once again celebrating their 29th birthdays on the
house floor, and this occasion will surely be enjoyed by the members
of this captive audience; and
WHEREAS, Armed with the knowledge that age is relative, and
quite certain that a little knowledge is a fabulous thing, these
longtime colleagues have set a new standard for defying the passing
of time; in fact, July 25th is more of a "rebirthday" than an
ordinary birthday, and is viewed as an opportunity to celebrate the
subtraction of another year, or two, from their true ages; and
WHEREAS, Born in Louisiana and raised in New Mexico,
Representative Hamric attended the University of Oklahoma before
settling in the Lone Star State; she has been a member of the House
of Representatives since 1991, and since being named Outstanding
Freshman by the Young Conservatives of Texas following her
inaugural legislative campaign, has continued to represent the
members of her district with enthusiasm and dedication; and
WHEREAS, Representative Woolley is a native Houstonian who
graduated cum laude from the University of Houston; she is the
co-owner of Houston Armature Works, Inc., and has received honors
and accolades from the Texas Association of Business, the Texas
Municipal Police Association, Texans for Lawsuit Reform, the
Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas, and the Houston
Firefighters Association for her excellent service in support of
her constituents in Houston; and
WHEREAS, Grandmothers both, these hardworking legislators
take great pride in their families; Representative Woolley and her
husband have three children and three grandchildren, while
Representative Hamric and her spouse have been blessed with two
children and two grandchildren; and
WHEREAS, In addition to excelling in their leadership roles
in the house, these respected chairpersons are charter members of
the Legislative Chemical Council, a group of legislators dedicated
to maintaining their natural hair color through the miracle of
modern science; although comprised almost exclusively of female
affiliates, the council considers Governor Rick Perry as an
ex-officio member, despite his continued involvement in the
splinter group known as "Hair Force One"; and
WHEREAS, Twenty-nine and feeling fine, these two lady
legislators have long been active supporters of the wine industry,
primarily through their purchase of copious quantities of
chardonnay, merlot, and the occasional wine cooler during the
summer's hotter months; their enduring friendship, which is based
on more than just a shared birthday, has blossomed during their time
together in the legislature, and, like a fine wine, it continues to
get better with age; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate the Honorable
Peggy Hamric and the Honorable Beverly Woolley as they celebrate
their birthdays on July 25, 2005, and wish them well in their
continued efforts to locate the fountain of youth.
