 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that the quality
and character of life in this great Empire State is indelibly enriched
by the faithful and untiring efforts of those individuals who have
helped shape the history of journalism in their area; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
congratulate Earl Davis upon the occasion of his retirement after more
than 30 years of distinguished service as a photojournalist for WKTV, to
be celebrated with a party in his honor on Sunday, January 5, 2025, at
Delmonico's Italian Steakhouse in Utica, New York; and

 WHEREAS, As a photojournalist at WKTV for over three decades, Earl
Davis has enjoyed meeting new people from all walks of life; and

countless images of worthy events; his most memorable experience was
traveling to Washington D.C. with a group of World War II veterans from
Herkimer County to visit the memorial built in their honor; and

and accolades from state and regional journalism organizations for his
role as a photojournalist, including New York State Associated Press and

community, Earl Davis has volunteered for many years with the
Boilermaker Road Race, serving as Sound Communications Director; and

 WHEREAS, Originally from Ogdensburg, New York, Earl Davis enjoys
spending time with his wife, Kathy, and their dog, Edna; he also enjoys
biking, kayaking, hiking and skiing; and

 WHEREAS, Rare indeed is the occurrence of such a compassionate
blending of strength, leadership, intellect, and commitment as that
demonstrated by Earl Davis over a lifetime of sacrifice and dedication
to others; and

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to pay tribute to
those individuals who have diligently and consistently, year after year,
captured the history of their communities and brought local news and
news of the larger world to their audience; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Earl Davis upon the occasion of his retirement after more
than 30 years of distinguished service as a photojournalist for WKTV of
Utica, New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
