|
|
ease into their workday, and for more than 12 years, radio |

|
|
in Houston with their Dean and Rog morning show; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This pair of high-spirited performers began working |
|
|
together 20 years ago at a radio station in Saginaw, Michigan, where |

|
their morning show was one of the highest rated in the nation; and |

|
WHEREAS, Dean and Rog went on to host shows in Salt Lake City, |
|
|
Denver, and Phoenix; in 1997, they moved to Houston, where they |

|
|
2009, they will be performing on KHTC in Houston; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Their daily radio show includes such regular |
|
|
features as the Birthday Scam, in which listeners request prank |
|
|
calls to friends on their birthdays, and the Dean and Rog Singers, |

who perform song parodies; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Dean and Rog also give back to their community |
|
|
through their annual golf tournament and sale of their yearly "Best |

Houston charities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through their good humor and irreverent wit, Dean |

|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
