|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to |
|
|
honor Katherine Butler for her outstanding work as an intern in the |
|
|
office of State Representative Debbie Riddle; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Katherine Butler possesses the rare ability to be |
|
|
completely at ease with individuals from every walk of life, and she |
|
|
is as adept at dealing with outspoken personalities as she is at |
|
|
drawing out more reserved individuals; throughout the session, no |
|
|
matter how crowded or crazy the office became, she was unfailingly |
|
|
gracious and welcoming of visitors; time and again, legislative |
|
|
staffers had a bad day turned around by a conversation with this |
|
|
relentlessly perky young woman; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Butler's warmth and vivacity were more than |
|
|
matched by her effectiveness at whatever job she undertook; she was |
|
|
consistently reliable in dealing with research and constituent |
|
|
correspondence; indeed, apart from her uncharacteristic defeat by |
|
|
the LMS Bill Tracking System and her inexplicable affinity for |
|
|
McDonald's, she was one of the all-time stars in the office, making |
|
|
her a shoo-in for taking over if the chief of staff had proven |
|
|
unable to complete his reign and setting the bar very high for |
|
|
future interns; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Despite her unique ability to summon inclement |
|
|
weather repeatedly on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, her coworkers |
|
|
forecast nothing but blue skies ahead for this talented Texan; now a |
|
|
bona fide college graduate, Katherine Butler will continue to win |
|
|
the affection and admiration of all who are privileged to work with |
|
|
her in the years to come, and it is most fitting to recognize her for |
|
|
a job well done; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Katherine Butler for her service as an |
|
|
intern in the office of State Representative Debbie Riddle and |
|
|
extend to her sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Butler as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
| |
|
|
