| H.R. No. 1321 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The family-owned Sanchez Barber Shop and Hair Design | ||
| Studio in Kerrville observed its 100th anniversary on January 1, | ||
| 2011; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Among the oldest continually operating businesses | ||
| in Kerr County, the barbershop was founded by Florin C. Sanchez, a | ||
| musician from San Antonio, in 1911; originally housed in a one-room | ||
| building on Jefferson Street, the shop was moved by steam engine in | ||
| 1912 to its current location on Main Street; during the business's | ||
| initial decades of operation, Mr. Sanchez would often play his | ||
| violin between haircuts, and family members, friends, and customers | ||
| would contribute to the music as well; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Florin B. Sanchez, the son of the shop's founder, | ||
| took over the business after returning from World War II in 1946; | ||
| currently, it is owned by the third generation of this enterprising | ||
| family, Louie Sanchez, who began working in the shop in 1969 and has | ||
| spent more than 41 years cutting hair; his sister, Paulette | ||
| Sanchez, runs the adjoining hair design studio, which was added in | ||
| 1983; the business claims the title of the state's oldest | ||
| family-owned barbershop, and its customers patronize the | ||
| establishment for the staff's skill as well as for the camaraderie | ||
| and fellowship that have characterized the shop from the beginning; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the course of the past century, Sanchez Barber | ||
| Shop and Hair Design Studio has become a prized institution and a | ||
| classic Texas success story, and it is a privilege to join in | ||
| recognizing this special milestone in its long and colorful | ||
| history; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate the 100th anniversary of Sanchez | ||
| Barber Shop and Hair Design Studio and extend to all those | ||
| associated with the business sincere best wishes for the future; | ||
| and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the Sanchez family as an expression of high regard by | ||
| the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
