WHEREAS, Allan Rubino of Temple has served the Texas Health |
|
|
and Human Services Commission for a half century; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Hired as an auditor in 1972, when the agency was |
|
|
known as the Texas Department of Public Welfare, Mr. Rubino can |
|
|
recall the days when his office received 100-pound boxes of |
|
|
financial statements and general ledgers to be audited; he received |
|
|
computer training in 1983, when technology eliminated the need for |
|
|
calculators filled with paper tape and pens and pencils fell out of |
|
|
fashion; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Rubino worked as a field auditor for some time, |
|
|
allowing him to learn new things as he talked to many interesting |
|
|
people among the state contractors; over the years, he has been |
|
|
delighted to see the workforce grow more diverse, and he now enjoys |
|
|
becoming friends with coworkers from all over the world, including |
|
|
Africa, India, and Sri Lanka; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In 2002, Mr. Rubino retired, but within a month, he |
|
|
was back on the job; he is now an Auditor IV in the Provider Finance |
|
|
division; in his free time, he likes attending high school and |
|
|
college football games and taking day trips around the state with |
|
|
his wife; they are the proud parents of a son, and the family has |
|
|
traveled to all 50 states; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Allan Rubino has greatly benefited his fellow |
|
|
citizens through his enduring commitment to public service, and he |
|
|
has made many significant contributions to the HHSC during his |
|
|
remarkable career; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature |
|
|
hereby honor Allan Rubino for 50 years of service to the Texas |
|
|
Health and Human Services Commission and extend to him sincere best |
|
|
wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Rubino as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
Senate. |
