48th legislature - STATE OF NEW MEXICO - second session, 2008

INTRODUCED BY

Timothy Z. Jennings

A MEMORIAL

RECOGNIZING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF REPRESENTATIVE GEORGE J. HANOSH.

     WHEREAS, Representative George J. Hanosh has served in the house of representatives for five consecutive terms; and

     WHEREAS, during those ten years, he has made many close friends in the senate; and

     WHEREAS, his empty chair on the floor of the house of representatives is a constant reminder that he has been unable to attend the 2008 legislative session; and

     WHEREAS, his kind demeanor and his ability to work with his fellow legislators in the senate have been dearly missed; and

     WHEREAS, because of his absence, there is no longer a "Lebanese Connection" with the legislature, a capacity he shares with former Senator Joseph A. Fidel; and

     WHEREAS, half of the cars in the parking garage bear the name of his automobile dealership, and now that he is not at the roundhouse, many new legislators have been forced to walk;

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO that Representative George J. Hanosh and his contributions to the legislature be recognized; and

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Representative George J. Hanosh receive the acknowledgment of his fellow legislators in the senate who deeply miss him; and

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this memorial be transmitted to Representative George J. Hanosh.
