THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S.274) to request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of South Carolina Highway 9 in Dillon County from its intersection with Highway 57 to 2725 Highway 9 West, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:

HERB KIRSH for Committee.

[274-1]

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 9 IN DILLON COUNTY FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH HIGHWAY 57 TO 2725 HIGHWAY 9 WEST AS THE REVEREND RICHARD DICK ALDERMAN HIGHWAY AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS PORTION OF HIGHWAY THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS REVEREND RICHARD DICK ALDERMAN HIGHWAY.

Whereas, in 1959, at twentythree years of age 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 seventythree years of age, Dr. Alderman will observe his fiftieth 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 churchs 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 half a 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 Highway 57 to 2725 Highway 9 West as Reverend Richard Dick Alderman Highway and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway that contain the words Reverend Richard Dick Alderman Highway.

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