| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the members of the Thierry family on the grand occasion | ||
| of the Thierry Family Reunion, which is taking place on the | ||
| weekend of June 21 through 23, 2013, in Houston; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Thierry Family Reunion brings together | ||
| countless descendants of patriarch Louis Thierry, who was born in | ||
| 1770 in what is now Saint Landry Parish in Louisiana; he died in | ||
| 1834, and today, the 10th-generation descendants of Louis | ||
| Thierry number in the thousands; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This reunion provides a unique opportunity for | ||
| the Thierry descendants to learn more about the history and | ||
| enterprising nature of their forefather; Louis Thierry was the | ||
| son of a slave and became a free man of color, and he used his | ||
| freedom wisely to become a prosperous man, whose livelihood | ||
| included ownership of land and livestock; and | ||
| WHEREAS, From the union of Louis Thierry and his wife, | ||
| Julie Meillon Giroir, 13 children were born; the couple placed | ||
| great value on education and opportunities for their offspring, | ||
| and nearly 180 years since the death of Louis Thierry, the | ||
| Thierry family claims numerous doctors, attorneys, politicians, | ||
| educators, engineers, and other professionals in its midst, and | ||
| all of the family members are hardworking and productive members | ||
| of their communities; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd | ||
| Legislature, hereby extend sincere best wishes to the Thierry | ||
| family for a joyous reunion and for much success in the future; | ||
| and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the Thierry family as an expression of high regard from the Texas | ||
| Senate. | ||
