SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 439

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize Norman Douglas Brown on the grand occasion of his 70th birthday; and

WHEREAS, Over the course of his 70 years, he has seen many momentous events and changes in the world; men have landed on the moon, computers have become commonplace, and mobile telephones are the rule rather than the exception; and

WHEREAS, Doug Brown was born March 27, 1941, in New York City to Carol Joyce Brown and Norman Douglas Brown, Sr.; he moved to Austin in 1958 to attend The University of Texas at Austin; and

WHEREAS, Doug married Judith Schas on December 20, 1968, and the couple has formed a committed relationship built on love, devotion, and mutual respect; and

WHEREAS, He takes great pride in his son, Timothy Douglas, who has been a source of much joy, and his daughter and son-in-law, Rosemary Louise and Monty Warren Wynn, who have blessed him with two grandchildren, Aiden Douglas Wynn and Owen Kenneth Wynn; and

WHEREAS, His entrepreneurial skills have found expression in his business, Oat Willie's, which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2008; a respected and admired member of his community, he is truly deserving of recognition as he passes this birthday milestone; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd Legislature, hereby commend Norman Douglas Brown on his many achievements and extend to him best wishes for a memorable 70th birthday; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
