|
age of 86; and |

|
this successful businessman also made significant contributions to |

|
Fort Stockton ISD Board of Trustees, including five terms as |
|
president; while he served on the board, the new elementary and |
|
middle schools were built, the Fort Stockton High School sports |
|
programs were greatly expanded, and the board was named the |
|
Outstanding School Board of Texas by the Texas Association of |
|

|

|
Church; an avid golfer and a West Texas Little League commissioner, |
|
he coached Little League baseball for many years; and |
|
WHEREAS, Martin Shuster was an outgoing and optimistic man |
|
who played an active and positive role in his community, and |
|
countless individuals benefited from his generosity, his skills as |
|
a leader, and his practical wisdom; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Martin Shuster and |
|
extend sincere sympathy to the members of his family: to his sons, |
|

|
