SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 674
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Richard Dale McClain 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, much to his chagrin; and |
|
cell phones are the rule rather than the exception; and |
|
WHEREAS, Richard McClain was born April 15, 1941, in Saint |
|
Joseph, Missouri, to Clara Belle McClain and Dailey Irvin |
|
McClain; he moved to Baldwin City, Kansas, to attend Baker |
|
University, where he excelled at football and distinguished |
|
himself as a golf team star, making a hole-in-one in May of 1967 |
|
at the Coffeyville Country Club; and |
|
WHEREAS, He served in the United States Army Honor Guard, |
|
stationed at Fort Myer in Arlington County, Virginia, during the |
|
presidency of John F. Kennedy; and |
|
WHEREAS, He takes great pride in his daughter, Lisa Marie, |
|
who has been a source of much joy, that joy being rivaled only by |
|
his love of golf; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mr. McClain worked successfully in sales for more |
|
than four decades; and |
|
WHEREAS, He generously gives his time and support to |
|
special-needs adults at Trinity Baptist Church in San Antonio, |
|
Texas; 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 Richard Dale McClain 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. |
