TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR JAYNE AND FRANK REID, OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF BERMUDA HIGH SOARING SCHOOL, AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR TWENTY-ONE YEARS OF OUTSTANDING RECREATIONAL SERVICE TO THE CITIZENS OF LANCASTER COUNTY.
Whereas, it is altogether fitting that the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives should pause in their deliberations to commend entrepreneurs in South Carolina like Jayne and Frank Reid who offer such exceptional services to their communities through their Bermuda High Soaring School; and
Whereas, established in 1963, the school has been under the management of the Reids since 1986; and
Whereas, Bermuda High Soaring is the largest commercial glider training facility in the Southeastern United States and attracts students from across the United States and Canada, as well as from South America and Europe; and
Whereas, located in Jefferson, the school includes a grass runway four thousand feet long, two hangars, and an air conditioned clubhouse; and
Whereas, the school maintains a state-of-the-art fleet of sailplanes, including a Duo Discus that has recently been added, and with the use of natural thermal updrafts, these crafts offer recreational and educational delights to countless participants every year; and
Whereas, Bermuda High Soaring has been featured on CBS's Good Morning America, the Discovery Channel, ETV, and local television stations in Columbia and Charlotte, North Carolina; and
Whereas, from May 8 to May 17, 2013, the school will host the eighteen meter United States National Soaring Championship, during which some thirty to forty sailplanes from across the United States and Canada will compete for the championship crown; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the economic support that extraordinary businesses in the Palmetto State like Bermuda High Soaring offer to their communities while attracting tourism and providing unique services. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Jayne and Frank Reid, owners and operators of Bermuda High Soaring School, and congratulate them for twenty-one years of outstanding recreational service to the citizens of Lancaster County.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Jayne and Frank Reid.
