A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO COMMEND THE HONORABLE LISTON D. BARFIELD OF HORRY COUNTY FOR HIS TWENTY-THREE YEARS OF COMMITTED SERVICE AS A MEMBER OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND TO WISH HIM ALL THE BEST IN THE YEARS TO COME.

Whereas, the Honorable Liston D. Barfield of Horry County for twenty-three years has loyally represented the citizens of House District 58 in the House of Representatives of this great State; and

Whereas, in preparation for his life's work, Liston Barfield earned his bachelor's degree in 1975 at Coastal Carolina University and his master's degree from Webster University in 1983. He has also been awarded honorary doctorates from Francis Marion University (2005) and Coastal Carolina University (2007). A resident of Aynor, he serves his area as an independent insurance agent and real estate broker; and

Whereas, heeding the call of his country, the young Liston Barfield served in the U.S. Army for six years. As a veteran of the Vietnam War, he is a member of the Veterans Monument Committee; and

Whereas, Representative Barfield has always believed strongly in personal involvement with his community, and his convictions have led him to serve that community and the broader community of South Carolina and beyond in numerous capacities. These include membership in the Aynor Lions Club, South Carolina Commission on International Cooperation and Agreements, and American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) Board of Directors. He also serves as national secretary for ALEC and in 2005 was named Legislator of the Year for that organization; and

Whereas, in recognition of his spirit of excellence and dedicated service to the people of South Carolina, Liston Barfield has been granted various additional honors, as well, among them the revered Coastal Carolina University Founders Medallion (2005) and Friend of Foreign Service Medal (presented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan, 2005); and

Whereas, this man of faith, who enjoys participation in his local prayer center, finds strength for the accomplishment of his duties in the firm support of his family. Married to the former Norma Jean Allen since 1967, he is the proud father of two sons, James Douglas and Brett Allen; and

Whereas, as a South Carolina House member, Representative Barfield has served with distinction on the Invitations and Memorial Resolutions Committee (chairman) and Ways and Means Committee; and

Whereas, on the occasion of his retirement from the House of Representatives, his House colleagues, grateful for Liston Barfield's faithful service in that body, extend their best wishes for much success and fulfillment in the new challenges he looks forward to in the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, commend the Honorable Liston D. Barfield of Horry County for his twenty-three years of committed service as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives and wish him all the best in the years to come.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to our distinguished colleague, the Honorable Liston D. Barfield.
