|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize A. R. "Babe" Schwartz for his distinguished career in |
|
|
public service and his many contributions to the state; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A. R. Schwartz served the people of the Texas Gulf |
|
|
Coast in the Texas House of Representatives from 1955 to 1959; in |
|
|
1960, he was elected to the Texas Senate, where he served with |
|
|
distinction for 21 years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the course of his career in the legislature, |
|
|
Senator Schwartz worked tirelessly to protect the state's beaches |
|
|
and coastal waters and to fight injustice wherever he found it; |
|
|
since retiring from the Texas Senate, he has worked as a lobbyist, |
|
|
advocating for a wide range of causes and organizations, and he has |
|
|
continued to do so, even as he approaches his 91st birthday; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through the years, Senator Schwartz has received |
|
|
invaluable support from his beloved wife of more than 60 years, |
|
|
Marilyn Schwartz, who has graciously served at his side and has |
|
|
also rendered exceptional service to the Senate Ladies' Club and |
|
|
the Governor's Mansion; the love and devotion the two have shared |
|
|
is truly an inspiration to all; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Senator Schwartz has been dedicated to making a |
|
|
difference in the lives of his fellow citizens for more than six |
|
|
decades, and it is truly fitting that he receive special |
|
|
recognition; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend A. R. "Babe" Schwartz on his many |
|
|
years of outstanding service to the people of Texas and extend to |
|
|
him best wishes for continued success in all his endeavors; and, |
|
|
be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
him as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
