|
leadership ability throughout his scouting career, serving his |

|
troop guide; he has also been named a Top Scout for Troop 155, and he |
|
is a recipient of the Arrow of Light Award; and |
|
WHEREAS, A freshman at West Texas A&M University, |
|
Mr. Franklin is studying animal science and plans to become a |
|
ruminant nutritionist; he has earned the prestigious Gold Award for |
|
his exemplary efforts with the Williamson County 4-H, and he is a |
|
valued congregant at First Baptist Church Georgetown; and |
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Franklin's dedication to excellence and |
|
his perseverance in the pursuit of his goals have proven him worthy |
|
to stand among scouting's elite, and he may indeed reflect with |
|
pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|

|
Franklin on achieving the rank of Eagle Scout and extend to him |
|
sincere best wishes for continued success and happiness; and, be it |
