H.R. No. 739
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Julie Ramos Gonzales was recently accorded a great
honor by being chosen to serve as a grand marshal of the Cinco de
Mayo parade in Alpine; and
WHEREAS, The theme of this year's event paid tribute to
vaqueros and the vital role they have played in the area's rich
history; and
WHEREAS, Chosen for her lasting contributions to the Hispanic
community, Mrs. Ramos Gonzales has enjoyed a lifelong love affair
with the vaquero way of life, growing up around horses at her
grandmother's ranch and getting her own colt, Trigger, when she was
only five; she was soon running barrels and roping goats in rodeos;
she became a member of the American Rodeo Association and went to
several national competitions; she was in the top three female
ropers in her final year of competition and altogether won seven
all-around championship titles; and
WHEREAS, A life in the saddle was eventually replaced by a
successful real-estate career, but this wife, mother, and
grandmother continues to enjoy riding and reminiscing about her
days as a cowgirl, and it is indeed a pleasure at this time to
recognize her for her many achievements; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Julie Ramos
Gonzales on being named a grand marshal of the 2006 Cinco de Mayo
parade in Alpine and extend to her best wishes for the future; and,
be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mrs. Ramos Gonzales as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
