standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commend

WHEREAS, Mr. and Mrs. Willi, who first met at the old Stevensville
Hotel in Swan Lake, spent 13 years together running Bogey's Restaurant
in Liberty, New York, before opening the Sulphur Springs Inn; and

Willi is in charge of the kitchen and credits her talented cooking to
her mother and grandmother, both of whom taught her all she knows; and
WHEREAS, With its cuisine of American and Italian, the Sulphur Springs
Inn is open for lunch and dinner, as well as special parties and off
premises catering events; and

the hard working couple with no plans of slowing down, is expecting to
expand the restaurant in the near future to welcome even more guests;
and
WHEREAS, Throughout the entire period of their community service, a
period of constructive involvement, Tom and Ann Marie Willi have stood
constant in dignity, good grace and humor; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that when individ-
uals of such noble aims and accomplishments are brought to our atten-
tion, they should be celebrated and recognized by all the citizens of
this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
