SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 475
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas 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, Anne and Aaron 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 of not only 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, Anne and Aaron 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 Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
|
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 a copy of this Resolution be prepared for Anne |
|
|
and Aaron as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
