TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF RAWLINSON ROAD IN THE CITY OF ROCK HILL FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH WEST MAIN STREET TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH HECKLE BOULEVARD "COACH ROBERT T. 'BOB' JENKINS MEMORIAL HIGHWAY" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS PORTION OF HIGHWAY THAT CONTAIN THIS DESIGNATION.
Whereas, the late Coach Robert T. "Bob" Jenkins served the citizens of York County for almost fifty years as a teacher, guidance counselor, coach, and advisor to many; and
Whereas, he coached thousands of athletes that included youngsters running their first race to seasoned Olympians competing for world championships; and
Whereas, his reputation as a coach was exceeded only by his genuine concern for the well-being of all persons he encountered; and
Whereas, it would be safe to say that most individuals associated with track and field, cross country, and fitness running in York County, the state, and many parts of this nation owe their success to Coach Robert T. "Bob" Jenkins; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize his great accomplishments by naming a portion of Rawlinson Road in the City of Rock Hill in his honor. 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 Rawlinson Road in the City of Rock Hill from its intersection with West Main Street to its intersection with Heckle Boulevard "Coach Robert T. 'Bob' Jenkins Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway that contain this designation.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
