PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, on January 10, 2017, Kathy Hill and her daughter, Amanda, had the unfortunate
experience of a blown tire, while visiting Georgetown; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Hill was able to pull into the Shell Station at the corner of Austin Avenue and
Leander Road, where she and her daughter experienced good fortune when Mr. Jack Johnson, a Georgetown
citizen, in the local construction and restoration business for 40 years, was also at the station; and
WHEREAS, Johnson told Mrs. Hill not to worry and he would be right back; and
WHEREAS, Johnson returned with Mr. Barney Raper who graciously changed the tire – both
Johnson and Raper refusing any attempt at compensation for their kindness; and
WHEREAS, the citizens of Georgetown are fortunate to have these heroes among them and wish to
recognize their thoughtful assistance.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DALE ROSS, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF GEORGETOWN,
TEXAS, do hereby offer a sincere thank you and pay special tribute to
JACK JOHNSON & BARNEY RAPER
