tradition; and

  WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Bristol have lived and continue to live
their lives with great dignity and genuine grace, always demonstrating a
deep and continuing concern for human  values  and  ideals,  and  in  so
doing, they have inspired others to do the same; and

  WHEREAS,  This  meaningful  occasion is the result of the love, hard
work and spirit this couple has invested in their marriage; and

  WHEREAS, They have passed these same values  to  their  loved  ones,
producing  a  family that is close-knit and supportive of its individual
members, public-minded in its relations to the community  and  committed
to the ideals of citizenship upon which this Nation was founded; and

  WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Bristol have touched the lives of their
family  and  many friends through the shining example of their marriage,
which is a testament to the devotion and admiration which  they  possess

occasion of such importance is brought to our attention, the same should

be  memorialized by us for the edification and emulation of others; now,
therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Gerald  Bristol  upon  the   occasion   of
