TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERSECTION AT THE JUNCTION OF UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 29 AND ZION HILL ROAD IN SPARTANBURG COUNTY "REPRESENTATIVE LANNY F. LITTLEJOHN INTERSECTION" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS INTERSECTION THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "REPRESENTATIVE LANNY F. LITTLEJOHN INTERSECTION".
Whereas, the Honorable Lanny F. Littlejohn for twenty-two years has conscientiously and energetically represented the citizens of District 33 in the House of Representatives of this great State; and
Whereas, now a retired businessman residing in Pacolet, Lanny Littlejohn was born in 1942 to George and Shirley Peteus Littlejohn of Spartanburg County. In 1965, he earned his bachelor's degree at Spartanburg Methodist College, after which he completed further degrees at Western Carolina University and Converse College; and
Whereas, at the call of his country, he served in the United States Army from 1961 to 1965, and from 1967 to 1978 he served the upcoming generation as teacher-coach and elementary school principal; and
Whereas, a man with a deep sense of civic responsibility, Lanny Littlejohn over the years has served his community and State as part of a number of organizations, among them the South Carolina Forestry Commission, Tri-Pacolet Area Chamber of Commerce Board, Pacolet Lions Club, South Carolina Jaycees, South Carolina Barbers' Association, Agriculture Commission of South Carolina, Spartanburg County Recreational Board, and Spartanburg School District Three as its board chairman; and
Whereas, as a House member, Representative Littlejohn has given invaluable leadership as chairman of the Operations and Management Committee and as third vice chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. In the past, he has served on the Education Committee, and he is a former chairman of the Spartanburg County Delegation; and
Whereas, devoted husband of the former Jean Miley since 1966 and proud father of three children, Representative Littlejohn counts as one of his chief blessings the strong support of his family. The Littlejohns are members of Morning Side Baptist Church, another source of family unity and strength, and Lanny Littlejohn serves as a deacon there; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper for the members of the General Assembly to forever recognize the many accomplishments of our distinguished colleague by naming an intersection in Spartanburg County in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection at the junction of United States Highway 29 and Zion Hill Road in Spartanburg County "Representative Lanny F. Littlejohn Intersection" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this intersection that contain the words "Representative Lanny F. Littlejohn Intersection".
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
