St. Cecelia's Church in Fonda, New York; Reverend Norman Stephan

attended school in Broadalbin Central; after graduating, she went on to
further her education at both Fulton Montgomery Community College and
SUNY Oneonta; Allan was a graduate of Fonda-Fultonville Central School
before he graduated from Northeastern Computer Institute; and

tower of strength, support, understanding and limitless love for their
family; and
WHEREAS, Well respected in their community, Allan worked for the
Montgomery County Highway Department, and Patricia worked for many years
as an elementary teacher at Fonda-Fultonville Central School; and
WHEREAS, In retirement, Patricia attends aerobics classes at the
YMCA and Allan has won a few senior level triathlons; they also enjoy
travelling and visiting their daughter in Boston, Massachusetts; and
WHEREAS, Their devotion, caring, sensitivity and responsiveness to
their family, friends and all who know them are their hallmark and
tradition; and
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Allan Turnbull have lived and continue to live
their lives with great dignity and genuine grace, always demonstrating a
deep and continuing concern for human values and ideals, and in so
doing, they have inspired others to do the same; and
WHEREAS, This meaningful occasion is the result of the love, hard
work and spirit this couple has invested in their marriage; and
WHEREAS, These same values they have passed to their loved ones,
producing a family that is close-knit and supportive of its individual
members, public-minded in its relations to the community and committed
to the ideals of citizenship upon which this Nation was founded; and
WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Allan Turnbull have touched the lives of their
family and many friends through the shining example of their marriage,
which is a testament to the devotion and admiration which they possess
for one another; and
WHEREAS, The longevity of this enduring marriage truly marks a
milestone in life's journey, an event of personal triumph and joy; and
WHEREAS, It is the practice of this Legislative Body that when an
occasion of such importance is brought to our attention, the same should
be memorialized by us for the edification and emulation of others; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Allan Turnbull upon the occasion of
celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary; and be it further
