To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3999) to request that the South Carolina Department of Transportation name the intracoastal waterway bridge on Robert Grissom Parkway in Horry County the "Zeb M. Thomas, Sr., Bridge" in, etc., respectfully
That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:
W. GREG RYBERG for Committee.
TO REQUEST THAT THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY BRIDGE ON ROBERT GRISSOM PARKWAY IN HORRY COUNTY THE "ZEB M. THOMAS, SR. BRIDGE" IN HONOR OF ZEB M. THOMAS, SR. OF MYRTLE BEACH FOR HIS OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO HIS COMMUNITY AND THE STATE.
Whereas, Zeb M. Thomas, Sr. has contributed to the Myrtle Beach community, Horry County, and the State of South Carolina since 1960, when he moved to Myrtle Beach to operate the Dayton House Motel; and
Whereas, during his forty-five years in Myrtle Beach, Mr. Thomas has seen the city change and grow and has developed the Dayton House Motel with thirteen rooms into the Dayton House Resort with three hundred twenty-eight units; and
Whereas, while his resort grew, so did his participation in community activities. Mr. Thomas helped found and held positions of leadership in the Myrtle Beach Hotel/Motel Association, Anchor Bank, and the Council of Myrtle Beach Organizations, also known as COMBO, an organization committed to promoting the Myrtle Beach area and lobby for transportation infrastructure; and
Whereas, he was an active participant in the Chamber of Commerce auto promotional trips in the 1960's and 1970's, which were successful in promoting the Grand Strand as a popular vacation destination; and
Whereas, Mr. Thomas was the first person to serve two different terms as Chairman of the Board of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, of which he was named a lifetime member, and enthusiastically directed the Sun Fun Festival Parade for over twenty years. He is also a member of the Myrtle Beach Lions Club and a charter member of Ocean View Baptist Church; and
Whereas, for his benevolent spirit, Mr. Thomas has been named Myrtle Beach Citizen of the Year and awarded the Order of the Palmetto; and
Whereas, in addition to a thriving, lovely marriage, Mr. Thomas and his wife, Clyde, have four children and eight grandchildren; and
Whereas, it is with immense admiration that the members of the General Assembly name the intracoastal waterway bridge on Robert Grissom Parkway in Horry County the "Zeb M. Thomas, Sr. Bridge" in honor of this great South Carolinian. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, request that the South Carolina Department of Transportation name the intracoastal waterway bridge on Robert Grissom Parkway in Horry County the "Zeb M. Thomas, Sr. Bridge" in honor of Zeb M. Thomas, Sr. of Myrtle Beach for his outstanding contributions to his community and the State.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Zeb M. Thomas, Sr. of Myrtle Beach and forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
