than  four  decades;  serving as deacons and prayer partners, their high
moral standing and integrity is above reproach; and

  WHEREAS, Promoting Welsh traditions in Central New York through  St.
David's  Society  is  extremely  important to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones;
when not spending time with their family, the  couple  served  as  music

grandparents of seven grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren; and

  WHEREAS, Good fortune, sharing interests and caring for  family  and
friends has kept this couple together through thick and thin; and

  WHEREAS,  These  same  values  they have passed to their loved ones,

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. Robert Jones 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

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. Robert Jones upon the occasion of celebrating
their 75th Wedding Anniversary; and be it further
