R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, John and Evelyn Box of Bryan are celebrating two 
exciting events this month:  their 59th wedding anniversary on 
March 10, 2005, and Mr. Box's 91st birthday on March 11, 2005; and
	WHEREAS, The devoted couple met at Fort Drum in Pine Camp, New 
York, shortly before Mr. Box went overseas to serve his country in 
World War II; in 1946, after his return from the war, they were 
married and relocated to his hometown, Centerville; eventually they 
moved to Lubbock, where Mr. Box worked for the Texas Agricultural 
Experiment Station for more than eight years; in January 1957, they 
settled in Bryan, where he worked as an extension specialist at 
Texas A&M until his retirement 20 years later; and
	WHEREAS, Blessed with four children, Josh, Carolyn, Gail, 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 
Legislature hereby congratulate John and Evelyn Box on their 59th 
wedding anniversary and his 91st birthday and extend to them 
sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the couple as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
