         WHEREAS, An inspiring couple whose lives have been enhanced

  Pleasant celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on July 21,
  2017; and
         WHEREAS, Al Burkhalter and the former Ruth Speas met on the
  campus of Miltonvale Wesleyan College in Miltonvale, Kansas, and
  following a romantic proposal from outside her dorm room window,
  they exchanged the vows of matrimony in 1967; with the passing
  years, their family has grown to include their two sons, Chad and
  his wife, Cammy, and Travis and his wife, Beth, as well as their
  eight grandchildren, Cole, Cara Beth, Christina, Caroline,
  Isabella, Sophia, Isaac, and Joy; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Burkhalter are longtime educators who
  have worked in a number of cities in South Dakota and in Mount
  Pleasant; Mr. Burkhalter served as a math teacher and basketball,
  football, and track coach over the course of his 45-year career,
  while Mrs. Burkhalter specialized in teaching reading to
  elementary students during her 37 years in the classroom; they have
  always been active in their church, holding a number of leadership
  roles at Linwood Wesleyan Church in Sioux Falls, South Dakota,
  before becoming valued congregants of South Jefferson Baptist
  Church in Mount Pleasant; and
         WHEREAS, While much has changed in the world over the past
  half century, this devoted husband and wife have remained constant
  in their commitment to each other, and the strength of their love
  has enabled them to meet life's challenges and opportunities with
  grace and optimism; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
  Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Al and Ruth
  Burkhalter on their 50th 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
