1 HOUSE RESOLUTION
2 WHEREAS, The education of our children in the State of
3 Illinois is the single most important responsibility of State
4 government and the people of this great State; and
5 WHEREAS, The teachers and educational employees in this
6 State are charged with the responsibility of educating our
7 children; teachers and other educational employees have
8 always deserved and required advocacy on their behalf to help
9 ensure that the proper resources and tools are in place to
10 allow for the proper education of our children; and
11 WHEREAS, The late Michael W. Hindman, formerly of
12 Effingham, Illinois, was a long time advocate for education
13 and for our children here in the State of Illinois; he served
14 for over 27 years as an official with the Illinois Education
15 Association, and before that was an educator in the State of
16 Illinois; he knew the importance of having qualified teachers
17 and adequate resources in the school; and
18 WHEREAS, On December 31, 1998, Michael W. Hindman was
19 tragically killed in an automobile accident while on a
20 vacation; because of his love of and dedication to the
21 shool-age children of the State of Illinois and the public
22 education system, and his strong advocacy on behalf of both,
23 Illinois has lost a friend who always fought to make
24 education better; therefore, be it
25 RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
26 NINETY-FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that
27 we mourn, with great sadness, the passing of Michael W.
28 Hindman; and be it further
