  H.R. No. 1303
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Businesses that employ Texans and that contribute to
  the local economy are important components of a prosperous future,
  and Slone Lumber Company, Inc., is among such notable enterprises;
  and
         WHEREAS, In November 1962, H. A. "Lindy" Slone and his wife,
  Ola Mae, founded Slone Lumber Company shortly after moving to Alta
  Loma, a community that was eventually annexed by the City of Santa
  Fe; the business sold items ranging from lumber and nails to
  plumbing and electrical tools; and
         WHEREAS, The Slones incorporated the operation in 1964 and
  included their son, Adonn Slone, and daughter, Linda Sue Inman, as
  shareholders; the company continued to thrive through the able
  leadership of the family's second and third generations, with Adonn
  Slone becoming president in 1988 and the founders' grandson, Gregg
  Slone, taking the helm in 2006; and
         WHEREAS, While managing the needs of the business, members of
  the Slone family have been active in their churches and community;
  in addition to volunteering in the Lions Club and supporting
  organizations like the local volunteer fire department, Lindy Slone
  was among the charter members of the Alta Loma Merchants
  Association, which grew into what is now the Santa Fe Chamber of
  Commerce; in January 2015, the chamber recognized Slone Lumber and
  the Slone family with a special award for their more than 50 years
  of service to the chamber and city at large; and
         WHEREAS, This tradition of community service was carried on
  by Adonn Slone, who once led the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce as
  president, served on the City of Santa Fe Planning and Zoning Board,
  and was a volunteer pilot for Angel Flight; Gregg Slone has been a
  coach and promoter of youth sports, and he partners with the
  nationwide organization Operation Finally Home to supply materials
  for building new homes for veterans with disabilities; and
         WHEREAS, Slone Lumber was sold to a national company in June
  2014, but Gregg Slone remains general manager, and the local
  workforce of approximately 50 employees continues with the
  business; and
         WHEREAS, Over the last half-century, members of the Slone
  family have made immeasurable contributions to the life and
  development of their community, and they may take special pride in
  their achievements; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
  Legislature hereby honor the Slone family for their outstanding
  entrepreneurship and civic engagement and extend to them sincere
  best wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for the Slone family as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
