A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 210 IN ORANGEBURG COUNTY FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH THE EASTERN TOWN LIMIT OF THE TOWN OF BOWMAN TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 26 "DR. JULIAN BOLAND HIGHWAY" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS PORTION OF HIGHWAY THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "DR. JULIAN BOLAND HIGHWAY".

Whereas, Dr. Julian Boland was born on October 4, 1927, the son of Julian (Babe) Boland and Cora Sims Boland; and

Whereas, he graduated from Monetta High School and completed his freshman year at the University of South Carolina when his studies were interrupted by a four-year tour of duty with the United States Navy; and

Whereas, Dr. Boland was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1949; and

Whereas, he earned a degree in Pharmacy from the University of South Carolina. While completing his degree, he met his future wife, Sybil Patrick; and

Whereas, he opened Boland Pharmacy in the Town of Bowman, his wife's hometown, in 1953 and served the Bowman community until 1993; and

Whereas, Dr. Boland began his many years of public service by serving on the Bowman Town Council from 1959 to 1965. He was elected as Mayor of the Town of Bowman in 1965 and served until 1990; and

Whereas, he and his wife reared five sons and one daughter, who each earned a degree from the University of South Carolina; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to name a portion of highway in Orangeburg County in honor of Dr. Julian Boland as a tribute to his service to his country and the Bowman Community. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of South Carolina Highway 210 in Orangeburg County from its intersection with the eastern town limit of the Town of Bowman to its intersection with Interstate Highway 26 "Dr. Julian Boland Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway that contain the words "Dr. Julian Boland Highway".

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