SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 55
|
|
WHEREAS, When they married many years ago, Margaret and |
|
Pete Peterson put great faith and trust in one another, and they |
|
have been amply rewarded, as they are now celebrating their 73rd |
|
wedding anniversary; and |
|
WHEREAS, Margaret Franzen and Pete Peterson were married |
|
on June 20, 1940, in the parsonage of Hutto Methodist Church; the |
|
couple had gone on their first date on August 5, 1934, which is |
|
another day they celebrate each year; though they quickly fell in |
|
love, they decided to delay their marriage until they were more |
|
financially secure, so they waited for six years after their |
|
first date to marry; and |
|
WHEREAS, The world has changed considerably during the |
|
years of their marriage, yet Mr. and Mrs. Peterson have continued |
|
to cherish traditional family values; and |
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Peterson worked in the dry cleaning business |
|
before embarking on a successful career with the state health |
|
department; he retired in 1981; Mrs. Peterson retired from the |
|
Texas teacher retirement system; and |
|
WHEREAS, Since they married on Mrs. Peterson's 22nd |
|
birthday, their 73rd anniversary is on Mrs. Peterson's 95th |
|
birthday; it is also the day before Mr. Peterson's 97th birthday; |
|
the long and happy union of Mr. and Mrs. Peterson is truly an |
|
inspiration to us all; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, |
|
83rd Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby extend sincere |
|
congratulations to Margaret and Pete Peterson on their 73rd |
|
wedding anniversary; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
this distinguished couple as an expression of esteem from the |
|
Texas Senate. |
