  WHEREAS,  This  Legislative  Body  takes  great  pleasure  in paying
tribute to those flourishing marriages that have stood the test of  time

marriage on May 28, 1949, at Mount St. Mary's Chapel, Kenmore, New York;
and

  WHEREAS, They are the proud parents of nine children, and the loving
grandparents of 16 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; and

  WHEREAS, John Hagerty retired as an English teacher at Niagara Falls

tradition; and

  WHEREAS,  Mr.  and Mrs. John Hagerty 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

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. John Hagerty upon the occasion of  celebrating
their 70th Wedding Anniversary; and be it further
