TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 9 IN DILLON COUNTY FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 95 TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH WIX ROAD "DR. RICHARD ALDERMAN ROAD" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS PORTION OF HIGHWAY THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "DR. RICHARD ALDERMAN ROAD".
Whereas, in 1959, at twenty-three years old and a freshly minted graduate of Southern Baptist Seminary, Dr. Richard Alderman was called to pastor Little Rock Baptist Church in Dillon County; and
Whereas, this year, at seventy-two years old, Dr. Alderman will observe his forty-ninth anniversary as pastor of Little Rock, a small rural community church outside the Town of Dillon; and
Whereas, throughout his tenure as pastor, Dr. Alderman has committed himself to unashamed expository preaching and teaching of the Word of God, always being available and loyal to his congregation, and maintaining a strong commitment to world missions; and
Whereas, his ministry at Little Rock is a family affair where he leads the choir, his wife Martha, whom he married when he was seventeen years old, serves as organist, and son Jay is the church's pianist; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper for the members of the General Assembly to recognize the faithful service of Dr. Richard Alderman as pastor of Little Rock Baptist Church for nearly a half century by having a highway in Dillon County named in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the General Assembly of South Carolina requests that the Department of Transportation name the portion of South Carolina Highway 9 in Dillon County from its intersection with Interstate Highway 95 to its intersection with Wix Road "Dr. Richard Alderman Road" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway that contain the words "Dr. Richard Alderman Road".
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
