 SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 591

   

        WHEREAS, A 55th wedding anniversary marks a lifetime of 

  

 mutual devotion and shared experiences, and John and Kay English 

  

 of Mineola celebrated this joyous milestone in their marriage on 

  

 October 24, 2024; and

  

        WHEREAS, John Perry English and the former Alice Kay Chaney 

  

 graduated from Mineola High School in the early 1960s, and they 

  

 were joined in matrimony in 1969; over the years, they have been 

  

 blessed with a treasured family that includes their son and 

  

 daughter-in-law, Chan and April English, as well as their 

  

 grandchildren, Kathryn, Jakob, and Ashlyn; and

  

        WHEREAS, Both retired, Mrs. English worked as a registered 

  

 nurse, and Mr. English was a certified public accountant with a 

  

 master's degree in business administration from Southern 

  

 Methodist University and a bachelor's degree in finance 

  

 administration; the couple lived in Dallas during the early years 

  

 of their marriage while Mr. English held positions with the 

  

 Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and the Republic of Texas 

  

 Corporation, as well as with Clint Murchison, whom he assisted 

  

 with various bank acquisitions; they returned home to Mineola in 

  

 1979 to run the Humble Oil and Refining Company distributorship 

  

 in Wood County, where they also owned five gas stations; over the 

  

 years, they have become valued members of the community and have 

  

 enjoyed a number of memorable trips to such destinations as 

  

 France, Germany, Amsterdam, Switzerland, and Austria; and

  

        WHEREAS, The more than five and a half decades of marriage 

  

 that Mr. and Mrs. English have shared is eloquent affirmation of 

  

 the meaning of love and commitment, and their enduring union is 

  

 an inspiration to all who know them; now, therefore, be it

  

        RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th 

  

 Legislature, hereby congratulate John and Kay English on their 

  

 55th wedding anniversary and extend to them sincere best wishes 

  

 for continued happiness; and, be it further

  

        RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be 

  

 prepared for Mr. and Mrs. English as an expression of high regard 

  

 from the Texas Senate.
