||
| WHEREAS, A century of joyful memories and meaningful | ||

| in his life when he celebrated his 100th birthday; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Ira McNeil was born in Giddings in 1910; he answered | ||

| retiring from that position, he went to work for the Institute of | ||
| Texan Cultures; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Proving the truth of one of his favorite sayings, | ||
| "You're never too old to learn anything," Mr. McNeil received a | ||
| certificate in computer training from Frank Garrett Community | ||
| Center at the age of 67, and at 74 he enrolled in San Antonio | ||
| College; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Still a formidable opponent in the game of dominoes, | ||
| Mr. McNeil is today a member of the West End Baptist Church and the | ||
| proud patriarch of a family that includes five children, nine | ||
| grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Ira McNeil is a source of joy and inspiration to all | ||
| who have had the great privilege of knowing him and sharing in the | ||
| richness of his life, and it is indeed fitting to recognize him for | ||
| a century of life well lived; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Ira McNeil on his 100th birthday | ||
| and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, | ||
| be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. McNeil as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
