R E S O L U T I O N
1-1 WHEREAS, February 26, 1997, marks the birthday of our friend
1-2 and colleague the Honorable Domingo Garcia, and although it is
1-3 entirely possible that this is but the first of many 39th
1-4 birthdays, this memorable milestone in his life is truly worthy of
1-5 special recognition at this time; and
1-6 WHEREAS, An attorney by trade, Representative Garcia opened
1-7 his law practice in 1983; since that time the firm has prospered,
1-8 as have the manufacturers of the little yellow sticky notes that
1-9 are his favored means of communication with his staff; and
1-10 WHEREAS, A dedicated public servant and valued member of the
1-11 community, Representative Garcia has achieved a number of notable
1-12 distinctions in the fields of law, business, and politics, but less
1-13 well known is the fact that he and his beloved Corvette hold the
1-14 land speed record for the Capitol parking garage; and
1-15 WHEREAS, Though this dapper daredevil's thirst for adventure
1-16 has led him to travel to the far reaches of the globe, to this day
1-17 he derives his greatest joy and satisfaction from his close-knit
1-18 family, and his wife, Dr. Maria Elba Garcia-Ibancovichi, and their
1-19 sons, Fernando and Joaquin, know him first and foremost as a
1-20 devoted husband and father; and
1-21 WHEREAS, The spirit of fun in which this tribute is intended
1-22 in no way diminishes the respect and affection his colleagues feel
1-23 for Representative Garcia, and the warm congratulations we offer
1-24 him at this auspicious juncture in his life are heartfelt; now,
2-1 therefore, be it
2-2 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 75th Texas
2-3 Legislature hereby pay tribute to the Honorable Domingo Garcia on
2-4 the occasion of his 39th birthday and extend to him sincere best
2-5 wishes for continued success and happiness in the years to come;
2-6 and, be it further
2-7 RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
2-8 prepared for Representative Garcia as an expression of high regard
2-9 by his colleagues in the Texas House of Representatives.
