THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 4194), to request the Department of Transportation to name the southbound connector of the bridge to be built to replace the John P. Grace and the Silas N. Pearman Bridges in Charleston County, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

RICHARD M. QUINN, JR., for Committee.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THE SOUTHBOUND CONNECTOR OF THE BRIDGE TO BE BUILT TO REPLACE THE JOHN P. GRACE AND THE SILAS N. PEARMAN BRIDGES IN CHARLESTON COUNTY THE "LUCILLE S. WHIPPER CONNECTOR" AND TO ERECT SIGNS OR MARKERS CONTAINING THIS DESIGNATION.

Whereas, the Honorable Lucille Simmons Whipper served with distinction as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives from Charleston County from 1986-1996; and

Whereas, former Representative Whipper, a retired college administrator, was born in Charleston, South Carolina, earned an A.B. degree from Talladega College in Talladega, Alabama, in 1948, and a M.A. degree from the University of Chicago in 1955; and

Whereas, during her distinguished career in the South Carolina House of Representatives, Representative Whipper served as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Social Services and Mental Health; chairman of the Subcommittee on Banking and Consumer Affairs; Second Vice Chairman of the Rules Committee; and a member of the Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee; and

Whereas, she has held many leadership roles in her community where she is highly respected and admired; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper that the southbound connector of the bridge to be built to replace the John P. Grace and Silas N. Pearman Bridges in Charleston County be named the "Lucille S. Whipper Connector" in honor of this distinguished South Carolinian. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly request the Department of Transportation to name the southbound connector of the bridge to replace the John P. Grace and the Silas N. Pearman Bridges in Charleston County the "Lucille S. Whipper Connector" and to erect appropriate signs or markers containing this designation.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Honorable Lucille S. Whipper and the Department of Transportation.
