||
WHEREAS, A 50th wedding anniversary signifies a love that has | ||
stood the test of time, and five decades after exchanging their vows | ||
of matrimony, retired Brigadier General Richard A. Behrenhausen and | ||
Elizabeth Behrenhausen of El Paso celebrated this special milestone | ||
on June 7, 2011; and | ||
WHEREAS, Dick Behrenhausen and the former Betsy Bunnell grew | ||
up in Pennsylvania and met when Miss Bunnell was a cheerleader at | ||
Muhlenberg High School; she went to Bucknell University, where she | ||
was also a cheerleader and a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority; and | ||
WHEREAS, The couple married in 1961 on the day that General | ||
Behrenhausen graduated from the United States Military Academy at | ||
West Point, with his parents and grandfather attending the | ||
ceremony; her parents were told the big news afterwards; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through the years, the Behrenhausens have shared a | ||
fulfilling marriage made even richer by the addition of three | ||
children, Elizabeth, Katherine, and Mike, and six grandchildren, | ||
Lindsay, Sara, Mathew, Madeleine, Ben, and Noah; and | ||
WHEREAS, General Behrenhausen served his country in the | ||
United States Army for more than 30 years, retiring in 1991, and he | ||
later was president and CEO of the McCormick Tribune Foundation; | ||
Mrs. Behrenhausen has devoted herself to her family and home | ||
throughout their marriage; and | ||
WHEREAS, This inspiring pair have enjoyed half a century of | ||
abiding love and affection for one another, 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 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate retired | ||
Brigadier General Dick Behrenhausen and Betsy Behrenhausen 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 | ||
prepared for General and Mrs. Behrenhausen as an expression of high | ||
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
