|
outstanding service to West Texans; and |

|
WHEREAS, A native of Hereford, Mr. Kendall graduated from |

|
institution for more than six decades, and a number of its employees |

|
|
prescriptions for area residents, the pharmacy has prospered as a |
|
|
popular eatery and social gathering place; Mr. Kendall has retained |

|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
