| states; and | ||

| commitment to excellence have greatly benefited his fellow Texans, | ||
| and he may indeed reflect with pride on a career well spent; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Archie Abrameit on his retirement | ||
| from the Stiles Farm Foundation and extend to him sincere best | ||
