R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Allan Rubino of Temple has served the Texas Health
and Human Services Commission for a half century; and
WHEREAS, Hired as an auditor in 1972, when the agency was
known as the Texas Department of Public Welfare, Mr. Rubino can
recall the days when his office received 100-pound boxes of
financial statements and general ledgers to be audited; he received
computer training in 1983, when technology eliminated the need for
calculators filled with paper tape and pens and pencils fell out of
fashion; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Rubino worked as a field auditor for some time,
allowing him to learn new things as he talked to many interesting
people among the state contractors; over the years, he has been
delighted to see the workforce grow more diverse, and he now enjoys
becoming friends with coworkers from all over the world, including
Africa, India, and Sri Lanka; and
WHEREAS, In 2002, Mr. Rubino retired, but within a month, he
was back on the job; he is now an Auditor IV in the Provider Finance
division; in his free time, he likes attending high school and
college football games and taking day trips around the state with
his wife; they are the proud parents of a son, and the family has
traveled to all 50 states; and
WHEREAS, Allan Rubino has greatly benefited his fellow
citizens through his enduring commitment to public service, and he
has made many significant contributions to the HHSC during his
remarkable career; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the 88th Texas Legislature
hereby honor Allan Rubino for 50 years of service to the Texas
Health and Human Services Commission and extend to him sincere best
wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Rubino as an expression of high regard by the Texas
Senate.
