RESOLUTION OF CONGRATULATIONS
FOR VALOROUR & LOYAL SUFFERING
IN 50 YEARS OF MARRIAGE TO A CURMUDGEON COMMISSIONER
WHEREAS, Mabel Patterson, during the post 50 years of her married life, has
lived a most interesting and exciting life, beginning with their honeymoon, in that
Bill took Mabel on a canoe ride on Lake Orion, and proceeded to tip over the canoe
and nearly drowned his new bride; and
WHEREAS, 45 years later, Bill convinced his bride that he had mastered the art'
of canoeing, and she loyally and trustingly followed him into a canoe which he
promptly swamped before even leaving the beach area; and Mabel commented "This
darned old fool will never learn how to maneuver a canoe: ", and Bill replied, "I
guess if will be another 40 years before Mabel goes canoeing with me again."
WHEREAS, Mabel Patterson suffered these canoe mishaps because she dutifully
accepted her husband's word that he knew what he was doing; and
WHEREAS, Bill Patterson has promised her a canoe trip in the Future.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners bestows upon
her this memento on the occasion of the Patterson's Golden Wedding Anniversary, a
golden life jacket to keep her afloat on all future canoe trips and in her marriage.
