R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The untimely passing of Clyde Calvin Edmondson of 
Brady on April 21, 2006, at the age of 54, has brought a profoundly 
felt loss to the family and friends of this beloved man; and
	WHEREAS, Born in Colorado on October 4, 1951, Mr. Edmondson 
graduated from Northwest Community College in Powell, Wyoming, and 
worked for Henderson Molybdenum Mine & Mill in Parshall, Colorado, 
for 20 years, retiring as a supervisor in 1993; and
	WHEREAS, He moved to the Lone Star State shortly thereafter 
and, in 1995, settled in Central Texas, making his home in Brady and 
attending the Cowboy Church in Mason and Menard; the owner and 
operator of Made in America Corrientes, Mr. Edmondson shared his 
expertise as the cattle manager of the Wau-Ban-See Ranch in Camp San 
Saba; hired by Kinnan and Jacqueline Golemon there in 1995 "until 
the end of the year," he would share a close friendship and remain 
in the couple's employ for the next 11 years; and
	WHEREAS, This lifelong cowboy was a board member of the Texas 
Corriente Association and a certified cattle judge with the North 
American Corriente Association and judged the first Eastern 
Corriente Association Regional Show; and
	WHEREAS, Often found on horseback and in the company of his 
dogs, Concho and Buddy, Mr. Edmondson was a professional horseshoer 
and rodeo cowboy, participating in events as both a contestant and 
judge, and he was a former member of the Junior Olympic Ski Team; 
and
	WHEREAS, Although his time on this earth ended far too soon, 
those fortunate enough to have known Clyde Edmondson will long 
remember a man whose love of the outdoors was surpassed only by his 
devotion to his friends and family; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby pay tribute to the life of 
Clyde Calvin Edmondson and extend deepest sympathy to the members 
of his family: to his son, Barton Edmondson; to his daughter, Ramie 
Nuncio, and her husband, Joe; to his father, George E. Edmondson; to 
his mother, Berniece Motz Palmer, and her husband, Carl; to his 
grandchildren, Joseph Calvin Nuncio and Kadyn Lynn Nuncio; to his 
sister, Sue Anne Mitchell, and her husband, Harry; to his nephews 
and nieces, Troy Mitchell, Dusty Privetts, Garrett Mitchell, and 
Sydney Privetts; to his special friends, Kinnan and Jacqueline 
Golemon; and to his other loved ones; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of 
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Clyde 
Calvin Edmondson.
