R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, A distinguished career in education and the arts is
  drawing to a close at the end of the 2008-2009 school year as E. A.
  Tanner retires as choir director at Rowe High School in McAllen; and
         WHEREAS, Called "Amby" by his friends and colleagues, Mr.
  Tanner has built a distinguished reputation during his tenure at
  Rowe, and the much-anticipated musicals performed by the choir have
  played to capacity crowds each year since 1993, with tickets
  frequently selling out soon after they go on sale; and
         WHEREAS, Under Mr. Tanner's direction, the shows feature
  superb singing that is enhanced by colorful costumes and innovative
  staging, and his assured management has consistently inspired the
  choir members to perform at the peak of their abilities; and
         WHEREAS, Amby Tanner has made invaluable contributions to the
  McAllen community and the students of Rowe High School, and it is
  indeed a pleasure to pay tribute to his notable career as he embarks
  on an exciting new chapter in his life; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate E. A. Tanner on his retirement as
  choir director at Rowe High School and extend to him sincere best
  wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Mr. Tanner as an expression of high regard by the Texas
  House of Representatives.
