|
WHEREAS, The First Annual Memorial "Running Against the Wind" |
|
|
5K took place in Rankin on May 23, 2009, in memory of respected |
|
|
rancher Bill Lindsey, whose life was cut short on March 25, 2009, at |
|
|
the age of 48; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Lindsey appeared to be in excellent health |
|
|
before suffering a massive heart attack, and the "Running Against |
|
|
the Wind" 5K seeks to honor his legacy, as well as raise awareness |
|
|
of the importance of preventive health care; coordinated by Owen |
|
|
Yocham and Jason Hahn, the event is being held in conjunction with |
|
|
the World Championship Barbados Cook-off, hosted by the Rankin |
|
|
Chamber of Commerce; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Affectionately called "Hoss" by his friends, Mr. |
|
|
Lindsey greeted friends and acquaintances alike with a smile and a |
|
|
handshake followed by a hug; he was known for his resourcefulness |
|
|
and ingenuity and for following the motto "improvise, adapt, and |
|
|
overcome"; on his ranches in West Texas and South Dakota, he often |
|
|
worked from sunup to sundown and then spent the evenings having fun |
|
|
with his family; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although Bill Lindsey is deeply missed by all who |
|
|
were privileged to know him, the annual "Running Against the Wind" |
|
|
5K will help preserve his memory for many years to come; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the First Annual Memorial "Running |
|
|
Against the Wind" 5K and extend to all those associated with the |
|
|
event sincere best wishes for continued success. |
