|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|

|
|
Texas 4-H Conference Center, on the occasion of the dedication of |
|
|
a memorial in his honor; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas 4-H Conference Center is a 78-acre |
|
|
retreat and meeting space overlooking scenic Lake Brownwood; the |
|
|
center hosts youth camps during the summer and corporate events, |
|
|
workshops, and reunions throughout the rest of the year; |
|
|
Mr. Crouch served as the center's director for 15 years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Crouch began serving with the Texas AgriLife |
|
|
Extension Service as an assistant county agent in 1954, and he |
|
|
began working with the service's state 4-H program four years |
|
|
later; he became director of the Texas 4-H Conference Center in |
|
|
1974, the year before it opened, and under his outstanding |
|
|
leadership, the center became a choice location for 4-H Club |
|
|
events and family gatherings; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Marshall Crouch Memorial site was established |
|
|
in a landscaped area near the administration building, where |
|
|
summer campers begin their days with the flag ceremony and end |
|
|
their days with fellowship after dinner; plans for the site |
|
|
include a memorial marker and additional enhancements to the |
|
|
area; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Marshall Crouch laid the groundwork for excellence |
|
|
in management, programming, and service at the Texas 4-H |
|
|
Conference Center; although his presence is greatly missed, his |
|
|
proud legacy will continue to enrich the lives of citizens long |
|
|
into the future; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby honor the late Marshall Crouch for setting |
|
|
the Texas 4-H Conference Center on a path for long-term success |
