H.R. No. 1394

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, A 65th wedding anniversary marks a lifetime of
	mutual devotion and shared experiences, and former state
	representative Bill Callegari and his wife, Ann Callegari, are
	celebrating this joyous milestone in their marriage on June 4,
	2025; and
	WHEREAS, William Anthony Callegari and the former Ann Roy met
	during their sophomore year at Cottonport High School in Louisiana;
	after a class, he gave her a book, which contained a note inviting
	her to the movies; she replied that she had to ask her grandmother,
	and fortunately, permission was granted; after graduation, she
	completed business trade school before moving to be near him in
	Baton Rouge, where he attended Louisiana State University; the
	couple became engaged during Mr. Callegari's freshman year and
	married on that special day in 1960 at St. Mary's Assumption
	Catholic Church, where both their families were parishioners; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Callegari's salary anchored the household
	until her husband completed his bachelor's degree in agricultural
	engineering; they moved from Baton Rouge to Illinois when Mr.
	Callegari accepted a job with the Caterpillar tractor company in
	Peoria, before finally settling in Texas; while employed by Shell
	Oil, he completed his master's degree in civil engineering at the
	University of Houston; in 1974, he launched his own business,
	AM-TEX Corporation, aided by Mrs. Callegari; she contributed her
	skills in marketing and customer relations while raising their four
	children, Butch, Robby, Cherry, and Chip; and
	WHEREAS, Over the course of nearly two decades, Mr. Callegari
	co-founded and led the Association of Water Board Directors and
	built AM-TEX into a major regional corporation; he sold the company
	to one of the world's largest utilities in 1993, and building on his
	reputation as a top expert in environmental engineering, he went on
	to own a consulting firm, WC Engineers; and
	WHEREAS, Mrs. Callegari supported her husband not only in his
	professional endeavors, but also in his career in public life; when
	he ran for the Texas House from Katy in 2000, she charmed potential
	constituents while the whole family donned campaign T-shirts and
	volunteered enthusiastically; during his seven terms in office,
	Representative Callegari gained special recognition for his work on
	water policy; along the way, Mrs. Callegari befriended countless
	members of the Capitol community, mentoring the spouses of new
	legislators and bringing sweets for staff; and
	WHEREAS, In recent years, Mr. and Mrs. Callegari have enjoyed
	traveling around the world, cheering on their grandchildren at
	sporting events, and spending time with loved ones and friends at
	their lake house on Horseshoe Bay; for this milestone anniversary,
	they have planned a cruise in the Caribbean with their family, which
	has grown to include 13 grandchildren, Will, Doug, Derek, David,
	Michael, Dylan, John, Elizabeth, and Paul Callegari, Emory McKim,
	Annie St Paul, and Jacob and Hayden Hickman, as well as 9
	great-grandchildren, Claire, Werd, Andrew, Eletta, and Bear
	Callegari, Carlisle and Quinn McKim, Adeline Kimbrough, and Henry
	St Paul; and
	WHEREAS, Bill and Ann Callegari have enjoyed 65 years of
	abiding love and affection for each other, and they are among an
	exceptional group of men and women who can claim such a lasting
	commitment; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate the Honorable Bill Callegari and
	Ann Callegari on their 65th wedding anniversary and extend to them
	sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Callegari as an expression of high regard
	by the Texas House of Representatives.
