SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 346

	WHEREAS, Many years ago, Robert John Macdonald II of 
Lubbock and Jean Mandell of Brookline, Massachusetts, made a 
lifetime commitment to each other, and their mutual trust has 
been amply rewarded, as they recently celebrated their 50th 
wedding anniversary; and
	WHEREAS, Bob and Jean were married on February 12, 1955,
in the base chapel at Ellington Field in Houston; they then 
accepted the unique challenges of raising a family during life
in the armed services; and
	WHEREAS, After his military service, Bob worked as an 
assistant city manager for the City of San Antonio, a professor 
of public administration at Texas State University, and a policy 
analyst with the Texas Department of Transportation; and
	WHEREAS, Jean served the public as a nurse anesthetist for 
over 20 years in San Antonio and Austin; and
	WHEREAS, The world has changed considerably during the 
years of their marriage, yet Bob and Jean have cherished 
traditional family and moral values; they have been blessed
with a wonderful family, and their five children are respected 
citizens of this great state; and
	WHEREAS, The loving relationship Bob and Jean share is 
truly an inspiration to all who know them; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, hereby extend congratulations to
Mr. and Mrs. Robert John Macdonald II on their golden wedding 
anniversary and best wishes for the future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for 
this distinguished couple as a memento of this special day in 
their lives.
                                                                      Barrientos
