8 | after one look at her, her father said, "She's no Shirley Ann," | ||||||
9 | and changed her name to Jacqueline Ann, after the not-so-famous | ||||||
10 | actress Jacqueline White; when the hospital changed the name on | ||||||

12 | September 3, and Jacqueline has been celebrating that day | ||||||
13 | since; and

20 | singer on a popular radio station, where she met her husband, | ||||||
21 | Gene Milner; Gene proposed on Valentine's Day, and they married | ||||||
22 | the following Saturday; they had two sons; and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | WHEREAS, Jacqueline Milner, along with her husband and | ||||||
2 | sons, owned several successful radio stations in Michigan, | ||||||
3 | Florida, and Illinois; her career in radio gave her the | ||||||
4 | opportunity to befriend several well-known artists; she was | ||||||
5 | close friends with Louie Armstrong, and Chubby Checker | ||||||
6 | performed at her son's seventh birthday party; and
| ||||||
7 | WHEREAS, Jacqueline Milner spoke at the National | ||||||
8 | Association of Broadcasters in 1974; her speech, "Put A Price | ||||||
9 | On Your Product," was well received; Jacqueline Milner was a | ||||||
10 | pioneer woman broadcaster and sales manager; therefore, be it
| ||||||
11 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
12 | HUNDREDTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we | ||||||
