SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 19
|
|
WHEREAS, When they married many years ago, Lou and Jim |
|
"Corky" Dawson placed great faith and trust in one another, and |
|
they have been amply rewarded, as they are celebrating their 50th |
|
wedding anniversary; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Lou and Corky Dawson were married on January 21, |
|
1967, after a whirlwind romance and short engagement; they had |
|
met one another on a blind date in the fall of 1966 at West Texas |
|
State University; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Dawson enjoyed productive careers in |
|
education, he as a coach and she as a teacher, before launching a |
|
successful Shaklee business; they went on to establish a thriving |
|
State Farm Insurance agency in Canyon that set numerous sales |
|
records and received multiple awards; they retired and moved to |
|
Granbury in 2003; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, They have been blessed with a wonderful family; |
|
their sons, Jimmy Don, John David, and Joe De, and their seven |
|
grandchildren have been a source of much pride and joy; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the years, they have grown stronger in their |
|
love and devotion as together they have experienced the joys and |
|
sorrows of everyday living; the long and happy union of Lou and |
|
Corky Dawson is truly an inspiration to others; now, therefore, |
|
be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
