||
| WHEREAS, High school sweethearts Raylan and Dinah Weable of | ||
| Waxahachie celebrated the joyous occasion of their 50th wedding | ||
| anniversary on December 18, 2010; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The couple first met as seventh-grade students in | ||
| Camden, Arkansas, and they began dating during their years at | ||
| Camden High; Mr. and Mrs. Weable were joined in marriage on that | ||
| special day in 1960 at the local First Methodist Church, and through | ||
| the decades, they have been blessed with a treasured family that | ||
| includes three children and their spouses, Rhonda Simorka and her | ||
| husband, Dave, Laura Pilcher and her husband, Jeff, and Kevin | ||
| Weable and his wife, Cheyenne, as well as seven grandchildren and a | ||
| great-granddaughter; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Raylan Lee Weable, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Max | ||
| Weable, attended Southern State College in Magnolia, Arkansas; he | ||
| went on to have a notable career with Western Extrusions before | ||
| retiring from the company as its national sales manager; the former | ||
| Dinah Jon Upton, daughter of J. C. and Charlotte Upton, studied at | ||
| Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana; she worked at the | ||
| Waxahachie Chamber of Commerce before joining the staff of State | ||
| Representative Jim Pitts in 1992; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In addition to meeting their professional and family | ||
| responsibilities, Mr. and Mrs. Weable have been active in the First | ||
| United Methodist Church of Waxahachie, where Mrs. Weable has served | ||
| the congregation as a teacher of the Fidelis class; Mr. Weable is a | ||
| member of the Waxahachie Country Club as well, and he currently | ||
| serves as vice president of that organization's board; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Weables have also dedicated their time to a | ||
| cause of special significance in their lives, the Dinah Weable | ||
| Breast Cancer Survivors Event; held each October during National | ||
| Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the luncheon pays tribute to | ||
| survivors while raising money to fund mammograms for underinsured | ||
| and uninsured women in Ellis County; in the past several years, the | ||
| event has helped provide more than 100 screenings annually; 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 one another, 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 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Raylan and Dinah Weable on their | ||
| golden wedding anniversary and extend to them sincere best wishes | ||
| for all the good fortune they so richly deserve; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. and Mrs. Weable as an expression of high regard by | ||
| the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
