SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 439
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  recognize Lance Barrow, an award-winning sports television
  producer, who is stepping down from his position with CBS Sports
  and bringing to a close his legendary 44-year career; and
         WHEREAS, A native of Fort Worth and a proud graduate of
  Abilene Christian University, Lance began his career with CBS
  Sports in 1976 as a spotter and statistician for Pat Summerall at
  his hometown's celebrated Colonial Country Club golf course;
  this assistant role enabled him to work as a spotter at his first
  Master's Tournament in 1977; and
         WHEREAS, A resident of Colleyville, Lance continued his
  career with CBS Sports and has returned to the Master's
  Tournament every year since 1997, when he was first hired as the
  coordinating producer of CBS Golf; during his tenure, he also
  served for 13 years as the coordinating producer for the National
  Football League on CBS; and
         WHEREAS, An esteemed leader in his field, Lance has
  produced telecasts for professional boxing matches, National
  Basketball Association and National Collegiate Athletic
  Association tournaments, NASCAR races, including the 1998
  Daytona 500, four Super Bowls, including Super Bowl 50, and
  events for two Olympic Games; he has worked professionally with
  such television broadcasting legends as Pat Summerall, John
  Madden, and Jim Nantz, and among his most memorable production
  experiences are the 1986 and 1997 Master's Tournaments, when he
  saw Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods win championships; and
         WHEREAS, Lance is encouraged in all things by the love and
  support of his wife, Melissa, and his two daughters, Katie and
  Caroline; he has amassed numerous professional honors, from his
  induction into the Caddie Hall of Fame to his 12 Emmy Awards, yet
  he is admired by friends and loved ones for his humble nature and
  consistently kind spirit; and
         WHEREAS, Lance Barrow has pioneered modern standards for
  excellence in national sports broadcasting, and he can reflect
  with pride on his nationally acclaimed career as he embarks on
  the next chapter of his life; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
  Legislature, hereby recognize Lance Barrow as a treasured Texan
  and commend him on his outstanding career with CBS Sports; and,
  be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
  him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
