|
since 1956, when he was 28 years old and lived at the corner of |

|
obtain 70 signatures, the postmaster agreed to extend mail |
|
service to the street because of Mr. Ramirez's hard work; and |
|
WHEREAS, He continued to serve his community by assisting |
|
people with job training, shelter, food, and medical care; he |
|
organized and served on the community council, and he was |

|
Villa Coronado; and |
|
WHEREAS, A highly respected and distinguished citizen of |
|
San Antonio, Miguel Ramirez has demonstrated his commitment to |
|
service and worked diligently for the betterment of his |
|
community; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
80th Legislature, hereby commend Miguel R. Ramirez for his |
|
achievements and his many contributions to his community; and, be |
|
