The resolution celebrates the 60th wedding anniversary of Charles and Margaret Semple, who reached this significant milestone on July 31, 2025. The couple, who met at Texas Christian University, married in Houston in 1965 and have since raised two sons, Charles and Brian, and welcomed four grandchildren into their family. Residing in Midland, Texas, they have previously lived in New York and Houston, with Charles working in the oil and gas industry and Margaret contributing as a schoolteacher, real estate broker, and volunteer.
The resolution highlights the couple's shared interests and community involvement, including their love for travel, family gatherings, and various hobbies. Charles enjoys hunting, fishing, and restoring vintage cars, while Margaret is active in the Junior League of Midland and participates in church and book club activities. The Texas Legislature extends its congratulations and best wishes to the Semples for their enduring love and commitment, and an official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of esteem from the Texas House of Representatives and Senate.
