SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 559
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Madolyn Frasier of Marble Falls has long |
|
|
dedicated herself to her community, enhancing the lives of others |
|
|
through her thoughtfulness and working diligently to preserve |
|
|
the history of this special place and its people; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In 1998, Ms. Frasier joined with William Becker to |
|
|
develop plans for a Marble Falls history museum; they invited |
|
|
fellow citizens to meet and discuss such a project, and |
|
|
enthusiastic volunteers and donors came together with help from |
|
|
city officials to found the Falls on the Colorado Museum; Ms. |
|
|
Frasier serves on the board of directors and as the official |
|
|
historian of this worthy institution, which boasts an extensive |
|
|
collection of photographs, newspapers, and other archival |
|
|
materials relating to the fascinating heritage of the town and |
|
|
the Texas Hill Country; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Frasier also serves as the historian of the |
|
|
Marble Falls High School Class of 1959; appointed "keeper of the |
|
|
class," she has chronicled the developments in the lives of her |
|
|
former classmates through the years, ensuring that all are |
|
|
apprised of births, marriages, and deaths; in addition, she |
|
|
organizes annual reunions and regular social events that have |
|
|
helped to sustain the close relationships many have cherished |
|
|
since the first grade; the class spirit she has fostered is the |
|
|
envy of others, who have been known to feign affiliation with the |
|
|
Class of 1959 to participate in its activities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A kind and caring woman, this Marble Falls native |
|
|
is beloved for her many acts of generosity, whether providing |
|
|
someone in need with a ride to the doctor, a genial visit, or the |
|
|
gift of delicious treats to brighten their day; her consideration |
|
|
has brought happiness and comfort to countless friends and |
|
|
neighbors; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Madolyn Frasier's latest achievement is |
|
|
organizing the 50th reunion of the storied Class of 1959, taking |
|
|
place on April 18, 2009, and this momentous occasion provides a |
|
|
fitting opportunity to recognize her outstanding service to her |
|
|
schoolmates and her myriad efforts in behalf of her fellow |
|
|
residents of Marble Falls; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend Madolyn Frasier for her outstanding |
|
|
service to the Marble Falls High School Class of 1959 and to her |
|
|
community and that she be extended sincere best wishes for |
|
|
continued success and happiness; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Frasier as an expression of high regard from the |
|
|
Texas Senate. |
