HCR 35 Cowboy Hat . . .
Would you like to help this happen?
|
Well, a bit of good news!
Last June I approached Dr Marsha Farney, my State Legislator, about her sponsoring the Cowboy Hat as the official Texas headwear since, according to the Texas Almanac, the bolo tie and the cowboy boot were already the Texas icons in their respective categories. Last Monday (Jan 5), HCR 35 began its journey through the legislative process sponsored in the House by Dr Farney and in the Senate by Dr Charles Schwertner. I have been invited to address both chambers on vote day as the 'idea' person. It made the 10 pm news in Austin Monday night and I got called today by the Williamson County Sun for an interview. Stetson Hat Co in Garland has been notified so who knows where this will go.
Chalk up one more 'feather' in the Herd's cap, or maybe, Hat!
Gene Jantzen, '55
