WHEREAS, Sharing a deep bond of love that has spanned more |
|
|
than six decades, Clarence and Shirley Legler of New Braunfels are |
|
|
celebrating their 64th wedding anniversary on May 5, 2009; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Clarence Legler of Plum, Texas, met the former |
|
|
Shirley Jean May in 1943, in Lincoln, Nebraska, when he attended the |
|
|
Army Air Corps aeronautical school and she was working a summer job |
|
|
at the YMCA; although her parents initially opposed the idea of |
|
|
their 16-year-old daughter dating a military man, the couple fell |
|
|
in love, and they exchanged the vows of matrimony at Trinity |
|
|
Lutheran Church in Lincoln on that special day in 1945; over the |
|
|
course of their marriage, they have found in each other a devoted |
|
|
life partner; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Legler count among their blessings a |
|
|
fine family that includes three sons, Kip, Kim, and Ken, four |
|
|
grandchildren, Joseph, Sarah, Krystina, and Kathryn Legler, and one |
|
|
great-grandson, Brendan Legler, with whom they share the many |
|
|
special occasions of life; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The couple settled in Wichita, Kansas, where |
|
|
Mr. Legler helped build the first Convair B-36 "Peacemaker" bomber |
|
|
while he was employed with Boeing Aircraft, and Mrs. Legler worked |
|
|
with a local dentist; after they began raising their family, they |
|
|
moved back to Texas and spent 18 years living in Pasadena, where |
|
|
Mr. Legler worked as an aircraft hydraulic specialist for the U.S. |
|
|
Department of Defense at Ellington Field until its closure in 1976; |
|
|
he transferred to Bergstrom Air Force Base in Austin and eventually |
|
|
retired from the active reserve and the DOD; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, When all of her children became of school age, |
|
|
Mrs. Legler worked for the Pasadena Independent School District |
|
|
before she earned a real estate license and established a |
|
|
successful career in Pasadena; when the family moved to Round Rock, |
|
|
she continued in the real estate profession and retired as |
|
|
secretary to the principal of Round Rock High School; Mr. and Mrs. |
|
|
Legler now make their home in New Braunfels, near their family; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Looking back over the past six and a half decades, |
|
|
Clarence and Shirley Legler can savor a wealth of cherished family |
|
|
memories and know that the strength of their love and commitment |
|
|
ensures that many more joyful times await them; now, therefore, be |
|
|
it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Clarence and Shirley Legler on |
|
|
their 64th wedding anniversary and extend to them sincere best |
|
|
wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Legler as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
