WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives takes pleasure in |
|
|
recognizing Anne Cornell and Aaron Mason, who recently completed |
|
|
their shared mission to visit all of the state's historic |
|
|
courthouses; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The pair took a journey to see these architectural |
|
|
gems because they both have a passion for historic preservation and |
|
|
because Texas is renowned for its stately and impressive |
|
|
courthouses; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Cornell and Mr. Mason set out to explore the |
|
|
diversity of architecture that characterizes these famous |
|
|
structures; they were halfway through their tour when they decided |
|
|
to become engaged and to marry in one of the courthouses; they |
|
|
decided to wed in one of their favorite structures, the Ellis County |
|
|
Courthouse in Waxahachie; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The buildings that house regional seats of |
|
|
government are reflections not only of the designers' sensibilities |
|
|
but of the region itself; the structures often employ materials |
|
|
that are native to the area, and in many ways they represent a |
|
|
county's ambitions, as well as its past; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Cornell and Mr. Mason took a unique journey to |
|
|
honor Texas history; in the process, they realized they wanted to |
|
|
create their own history as a couple; the story of their |
|
|
architectural journey and its lasting influence is one they will |
|
|
share with loved ones for years to come; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Anne Cornell and Aaron Mason on their |
|
|
appreciation of historical architecture and interest in |
|
|
preservation and extend to them congratulations on their recently |
|
|
completed trip to explore all of the state's historic courthouses; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Cornell and Mr. Mason as an expression of high |
|
|
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. |
