It is my honor and pleasure to take a brief moment to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of the late Speaker Emeritus, the Honorable Solomon Blatt. He served with great distinction as a member of the South Carolina House for fifty-three years, much of that time as Speaker. It was my distinct honor to sit with him when he came to the House in 1979 until his death in 1986. Speaker Blatt loved his native county of Barnwell, the people of South Carolina and the men and women of the General Assembly with whom he served. He served with unselfish devotion and dedication for over half of this century and was truly one of our most able statesmen of our time.
