	WHEREAS, Charles Durham Nash was an icon in the Central

	supply officer in the United States Army; he owned and managed
	and served as chairman of the board of Capitol Chevrolet, the

	he served as a director of Austin National Bank and chaired the
	board of trustees of the Headliners Club and the Texas Automobile
	Dealers Association; and
	WHEREAS, A man of courage, determination, and compassion,
	he gave unselfishly to others, and his wisdom, his generous
	spirit, and his genuine concern for all those he met will not be
	forgotten by the many people whose lives he touched; and
	WHEREAS, He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather,
	and he will long be remembered with affection and admiration by
	all who were privileged to share in his life; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
	Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved
	family of Charles Durham Nash: his wife of 63 years, Dorothy; his
	children, Nancy Nash Harper and Chuck Nash; and his five

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	his family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas
