SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 882
	WHEREAS, Many years ago, Clarence and Mary Margaret Nixon
made a lifetime commitment to each other, and they have been 
amply rewarded, for they recently celebrated their 65th wedding
anniversary; and
	WHEREAS, On February 10, 1940, Clarence Lloyd Nixon, the 
son of Mr. and Mrs. William Jasper Nixon of Fredericksburg, 
married Mary Margaret Jung, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Jung
of Harper, in Notre Dame Catholic Church in Kerrville; and
	WHEREAS, The couple has lived in Fredericksburg 
throughout their marriage; Clarence was employed at Dooley's 
Store at the age of 17 and worked there until he was 77; he 
entered the United States Army during World War II and served 
in northern France, the Rhineland, and Central Europe, and he 
received numerous medals and decorations for his exemplary 
service; and
	WHEREAS, Mary Margaret was a homemaker and cared for 
their three children; in 1970, she began working as an aide at 
the Hill Country Memorial Hospital, and she retired in 1990 
after over 20 years of service; and
	WHEREAS, The world has changed considerably during the 
years of their marriage, yet Mr. and Mrs. Nixon have cherished 
traditional family and moral values; over the years, their love 
has grown stronger as they experienced the joys and sorrows of 
everyday living; and
	WHEREAS, They have been blessed with a wonderful family; 
their children, Gail, Kevin, and Kirk, together with their


families, and their grandchildren, Christy and Camilla, and 
great-grandchildren, Adrian, Erin, Kurren, and Kyle, are a 
source of much pride and joy; and
	WHEREAS, Clarence and Mary Margaret are actively involved 
with the American Legion Louis Jordon Post and attend Saint Mary's
Catholic Church in Fredericksburg; the long and happy union of 
this wonderful couple 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 congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Nixon on their
65th wedding anniversary and extend to them 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.
                                                                          Fraser
