H.R. No. 2174

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, June 4, 2010, marked the 50th wedding anniversary of
	State Representative Bill Callegari and his wife, Ann; and
	WHEREAS, Natives of Cottonport, Louisiana, Bill Callegari
	and the former Ann Roy began dating as sophomores in high school,
	where he was a star athlete in football, basketball, and track and
	she was the president of the Pep Cheering Squad; they became engaged
	during his freshman year at Louisiana State University and married
	on June 4, 1960, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Cottonport; in the
	years that followed, they became the proud parents of four
	children, William "Butch" Callegari, Jr., Robert "Robby"
	Callegari, Richard "Chip" Callegari, and Cherry Callegari Bull; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Callegari worked to help put her husband
	through college, and he graduated with a degree in agricultural
	engineering; his employment with Caterpillar Tractor Company took
	them to Peoria, Illinois, for several years before family ties drew
	them to Houston; while employed by Shell Pipeline, Representative
	Callegari attended the University of Houston at night and completed
	his master's degree in civil engineering; he started his own
	environmental firm, AM-TEX Corporation, with the vital assistance
	of Mrs. Callegari, who contributed her flair for marketing and
	customer relations while also managing their busy household; and
	WHEREAS, Growing up in the family business, the Callegari
	children learned to read water meters and then progressed to such
	tasks as repairing utility lines and working in the office; this
	upbringing prepared them well for future success, and today, Butch
	is an attorney with a corporate practice, Robby owns a consulting
	firm, CMA Engineering, Cherry is a special education teacher, and
	Chip is president of his own utility management firm, TNG (The Next
	Generation) Utility Corporation; and
	WHEREAS, Representative Callegari sold his business in the
	mid-1990s but stayed on as president for a few years until his
	retirement; following two years of traveling, home projects, and
	raising and showing horses, he accepted a position as president of a
	national water company and then, in 2000, he decided to enter public
	service; with Mrs. Callegari lending her support, encouragement,
	and irresistible charm on the campaign trail, the Katy resident was
	elected to represent House District 132 in the Texas Legislature;
	he is currently serving his sixth term, and Mrs. Callegari has
	become a mentor and friend to the spouses of new legislators; and
	WHEREAS, In celebration of their golden anniversary, the
	Callegaris traveled to Europe with their eldest son, Butch,
	daughter-in-law, Denise (Bordelon), and grandchildren, Will
	Callegari III, Michael, John, and Elizabeth; their son, Robby,
	daughter-in-law, Allison (Freeman), and grandchildren, Doug,
	Emory, and Annie; their only daughter, Cherry, son-in-law, Robert
	Bull, and grandchildren, Derek, David, and Dylan; and their
	youngest son, Chip; the devoted couple renewed their vows on that
	special day in June in St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican;
	continuing to set an example of strong faith, they attend Mass
	together every Sunday; and
	WHEREAS, The more than five decades of marriage that Bill and
	Ann Callegari have shared 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 the Honorable Bill Callegari and
	Ann Callegari on their 50th 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 the Callegaris as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
