WHEREAS, The wedding anniversary of two outstanding Texans |
|
|
who have shared 50 happy and rewarding years of marriage is truly a |
|
|
notable occasion, and Theodore and Dorothy Kaspar of Brazoria |
|
|
attained this memorable milestone in their lives on November 12, |
|
|
2010; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After meeting at the Plainview Dance Hall in El |
|
|
Campo, Mr. and Mrs. Kaspar were joined in matrimony in 1960 at a |
|
|
ceremony held at Holy Family Catholic Church in Wharton; through |
|
|
the years, they have welcomed into their family four children and |
|
|
their spouses, Kenneth Kaspar, Carol Kaspar Taylor and her husband, |
|
|
Mark, Terry Kaspar and his wife, Shelley, and Curtis Kaspar and his |
|
|
wife, Deborah, and they have been blessed with seven grandchildren, |
|
|
Craig, Kyle, Lauren, Zachary, Kolton, Karch, and Kaley; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Respected members of the Brazoria community, Mr. |
|
|
Kaspar holds a degree in chemistry and worked at the Dow Chemical |
|
|
Company in Freeport for nearly four decades before retiring as a |
|
|
production supervisor, while Mrs. Kaspar is a homemaker; together |
|
|
they enjoy fellowship at St. Joseph on the Brazos Catholic Church, |
|
|
where Mr. Kaspar is a member of the Knights of Columbus; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Celebrating their shared Czech roots, Mr. and Mrs. |
|
|
Kaspar are active participants in the Fort Bend County chapter of |
|
|
the Czech Heritage Society of Texas and supporters of the Texas |
|
|
Czech Heritage and Cultural Center in La Grange; they have made |
|
|
several trips together to the Czech Republic, and Mr. Kaspar has |
|
|
written extensively about the couple's shared ancestry; more than a |
|
|
half-century after they first met on a dance floor, the Kaspars |
|
|
still take pleasure in performing polkas and waltzes at Czech |
|
|
events; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The 50 years of marriage that Mr. and Mrs. Kaspar |
|
|
have had is eloquent affirmation of the meaning of love and |
|
|
commitment, and their enduring union is an inspiration to all who |
|
|
know them; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Theodore and Dorothy Kaspar on |
|
|
their golden 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. Kaspar as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
