THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3826) to request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection of SC 176 between Spartanburg and Union, West Main Street West of the Town of Pacolet, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

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

ROBERT W. LEACH, SR. for Committee.

            

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERSECTION OF SC 176 BETWEEN SPARTANBURG AND UNION, WEST MAIN STREET WEST OF THE TOWN OF PACOLET IN SPARTANBURG COUNTY IN HONOR OF VOIGT MILTON EPTING FOR HIS DEDICATION TO EDUCATING THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF THE STATE AND INSTALL APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS DENOTING THE "VOIGT MILTON EPTING INTERSECTION".

Whereas, Voigt Milton Epting, "Fess", was born on June 28, 1910, on a farm outside of Prosperity in Newberry County and graduated from Newberry College in 1932, where he prepared himself for his enduring career in education; and

Whereas, Mr. Epting demonstrated his athletic prowess at Newberry when he played football and baseball, and was offered a baseball contract with Cincinnati after graduation, but was unable to pursue his dream when an unfortunate injury to his arm occurred; and

Whereas, Mr. Epting began his career in education at Brookland-Cayce High School in Columbia, and he quickly ascended to Superintendent over three schools in Estill where he also taught ROTC, shop, Veteran School, and math and coached football, baseball, and girls basketball; and

Whereas, expanding his teaching credentials, Mr. Epting received his Masters in Education from the University of South Carolina in 1949, and in 1951, he became Superintendent of District 3 in Pacolet; and

Whereas, when the Cowpens and Pacolet schools merged, the Superintendents drew straws and Mr. Epting became Assistant Superintendent, a position from which he chose to step down to become Principal and to be more involved with children; and

Whereas, Mr. Epting is active in his community and was named Man of the Year by the Lions Club. He is a faithful member of the Pacolet Presbyterian Church, where he has served as Sunday school teacher, Deacon, and Elder; and

Whereas, it is with honor and admiration that the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection of SC 176 and West Main Street West of the Town of Pacolet the "Voigt Milton Epting Intersection". Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection of SC 176 between Spartanburg and Union and West Main Street West of the Town of Pacolet in Spartanburg County in honor of Voigt Milton Epting for his dedication to educating the young people of the State and install appropriate markers or signs denoting the "Voigt Milton Epting Intersection".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
