HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
WHEREAS, Sammy Andrews of Addielou was inducted into the |
|
Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame in 2008, and this honor offers |
|
well-deserved recognition for this respected stock contractor and |
|
rodeo ambassador; and |
|
WHEREAS, The son of fellow hall of fame inductee |
|
B. D. Andrews, Sammy Andrews has been involved in the sport of |
|
rodeo throughout his life; he competed in bareback riding and steer |
|
wrestling and worked as a pickup man, and he began producing amateur |
|
events in the 1980s; and |
|
WHEREAS, Choosing to follow his father's example, he turned |
|
his attention to stock contracting and soon became well known for |
|
the quality of his animals, particularly for those he provided for |
|
the bull-riding event; the most famous was Bodacious, considered |
|
one of the greatest bucking bulls of all time, which gave up only |
|
eight qualified rides during its years in the arena; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Andrews Rodeo Company has also handled renowned |
|
bulls such as Skoal's Outlaw Willie and Skat Kat, which, like |
|
Bodacious, were honored with Bucking Bull of the Year honors; |
|
official commendations have also been awarded to Mr. Andrews |
|
himself, including his selection as the 2002 Stock Contractor of |
|
the Year by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association; and |
|
WHEREAS, A prominent figure in the world of rodeo, |
|
Mr. Andrews and his livestock have been featured on television |
|
programs and in newspaper and magazine articles, and he has become |
|
an influential voice in the sport through his service on the |
|
executive council of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, Over the course of his long and accomplished career, |
|
Sammy Andrews has contributed greatly to the growth of rodeo and |
|
furthered the Lone Star State's considerable reputation as a center |
|
for western-themed sports and activities, and he is indeed |
|
deserving of this prestigious hall of fame honor; now, therefore, |
|
be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the 81st Legislature of the State of Texas |
|
hereby congratulate Sammy Andrews on his induction into the Texas |
|
Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame and extend to him sincere best wishes for |
|
continued success; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for Mr. Andrews as an expression of high regard by the |
|
Texas House of Representatives and Senate. |
