March 10, 2005, and Mr. Box's 91st birthday on March 11, 2005; and

James, Mr. and Mrs. Box have enjoyed nearly 60 years of a lasting
partnership built on love, trust, and mutual respect, and they are
an inspiration to all those who are fortunate enough to know them;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas

wedding anniversary and his 91st birthday and extend to them
sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further
