WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize the Arguindegui Oil Company on its 2013 induction into |
|
the Junior Achievement of Laredo Business Hall of Fame; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Junior Achievement of Laredo works in partnership |
|
with business leaders and educators to inspire young people and |
|
prepare them to succeed in today's complex global economy; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Arguindegui Oil Company was founded in 1942 when |
|
Peter Arguindegui, Sr., was awarded the Continental Oil Company |
|
commission agency to serve Laredo and the surrounding area; |
|
despite the challenges of doing business during wartime, the |
|
company grew and prospered; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Arguindegui's sons entered the family |
|
business after graduating from Texas A&M University, and in the |
|
early 1970s, they assumed leadership of the company; the third |
|
generation of the family began entering the business in 1986, and |
|
today, Arguindegui Oil Company continues to thrive and to play a |
|
vital role in the energy industry in Texas; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through the years, the company has reflected its |
|
founder's commitment to education by establishing scholarship |
|
endowments at Texas A&M University, Texas A&M International |
|
University, Laredo Community College, and each of the Laredo public |
|
high schools; it is truly worthy of induction into this prestigious |
|
body; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd |
|
Legislature, hereby commend the Arguindegui Oil Company on its |
