SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 679
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
pay tribute to Rosemary Leonard on the grand occasion of her |
|
|
80th birthday; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This gracious lady is well known for her |
|
|
engaging personality and charm, and she is an admired resident |
|
|
of San Antonio; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Rosemary Leonard was born April 16, 1927; she was |
|
|
graduated from a high school in New York City, where as a senior, |
|
|
and oddly foreshadowing of things to come, her favorite song |
|
|
was "Streets of Laredo"; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Leonard went from attending a high school |
|
|
in New York to the University of California at Los Angeles, where |
|
|
she earned a degree in sociology with the goal of helping the |
|
|
children of the world; she worked to that end for some time as |
|
|
a deputy probation officer and as a social worker in California; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Leonard then became a field advisor for the |
|
|
Girl Scouts; she worked with volunteers in California and Texas |
|
|
for more than 20 years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After serving as a legal assistant in San Antonio, |
|
|
Mrs. Leonard tried retirement, and finding it lacking in reward, |
|
|
she rejoined the workforce as a constituent caseworker for |
|
|
State Senator Judith Zaffirini of Laredo; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mrs. Leonard has three children, Jim Leonard, |
|
|
Peggy Lindauer, and Pam Ramirez, and six grandchildren; she is |
|
|
a beloved and respected member of her community and is noted for |
|
|
her courage, her sense of humor, and her enthusiasm for living |
|
|
each day to the fullest; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
|
80th Legislature, hereby recognize Rosemary Leonard as a treasured |
|
|
citizen of San Antonio and our state and extend to her best wishes |
|
|
on the occasion of her 80th birthday; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for her |
|
|
as a memento of this special day. |
