SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 795
	In Memory
	of
	Robert L. Marquardt
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas honors and pays
	tribute to the life of philanthropist and entrepreneur Robert L.
	Marquardt, who died January 14, 2012, at the age of 86; and
	WHEREAS, Born December 25, 1925, in Dayton, Ohio, Robert
	Marquardt was enterprising, even as a child; the future founder
	of Management and Training Corporation launched several
	neighborhood businesses as a youngster, and that work ethic
	served him well throughout his life; and
	WHEREAS, During World War II, Mr. Marquardt was a
	midshipman for the United States Merchant Marine and the United
	States Navy; he attained a bachelor of arts degree from Denison
	University and, later, a master's degree in business and a
	doctoral degree in business management; in 1960, he joined
	Thiokol Chemical Corporation as marketing director; and
	WHEREAS, At Thiokol, Mr. Marquardt helped create an
	education division and encouraged the company to work with the
	federal Department of Labor in operating Job Corps Centers; in
	1980, he parlayed this experience into his own business, founding
	Management and Training Corporation; today, the firm employs
	some 9,200 people, is the largest operator of Job Corps Centers
	in the country, and is the nation's third-largest operator of
	private correctional institutions; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Marquardt also found time for philanthropy
	and good works; his efforts were instrumental to many community
	projects and initiatives, including the Beus Pond Nature Park,
	the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park, and the Ogden River Parkway;
	he also enjoyed landscaping, deep-sea fishing, writing, drawing,
	and long-distance running; and
	WHEREAS, Survived by his wife of 23 years, Annette, and two
	children and several grandchildren, Mr. Marquardt leaves behind
	many fond memories that will long be cherished by those who knew
	him; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd
	Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved
	family of Robert L. Marquardt; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	his family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas
	Senate, and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do so in
	memory of Robert Marquardt.
	Lucio
