WHEREAS, For over 170 years, the State of Texas has | ||
embraced peoples of all nationalities and even citizens of lesser | ||
states within these United States of America; and | ||
WHEREAS, Many of these newly adopted Texans found their way | ||
to the great State of Texas as fast as they could and subsequently | ||
served this state with distinction and honor; and | ||
WHEREAS, Despite not having the good fortune of calling | ||
the Lone Star State their home, other citizens of these lesser | ||
states have instead distinguished themselves by using their | ||
professional talents in service to Texas' businesses and | ||
citizens; and | ||
WHEREAS, Finding himself in this second category, Weller | ||
Hensell Harris Jr. has indeed served many Texas companies for | ||
decades, especially those in the construction and engineering | ||
industries; and | ||
WHEREAS, Weller Hensell Harris Jr. also served the State of | ||
Georgia as assistant attorney general in design and construction | ||
matters and as the adjunct professor for 20 years at the Georgia | ||
Institute of Technology; and | ||
WHEREAS, For the last 38 years, Weller Hensell Harris Jr. | ||
has been the managing partner of Wasson, Sours and Harris, P.C., | ||
based in Atlanta; and | ||
WHEREAS, While having a commendable life and successful | ||
career outside of Texas' expansive borders, Weller Hensell | ||
Harris Jr. has always had great affection for this state and is a | ||
true Texan in his heart; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend Weller Hensell Harris Jr. on his | ||
exceptional achievements and extend best wishes for the future to | ||
him, his wife of 51 years, Sara Todd "Toddie" Alston Harris, and | ||
their two children and five grandchildren; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
Weller Hensell Harris Jr. as an expression of high regard from | ||
the Texas Senate. | ||
