Whereas, during his distinguished career in education, Dr. Krohne has worked as a teacher, deputy commissioner of education with the Indiana Department of Education, senior policy advisor for education in the Office of the Governor of Indiana, and executive director for the New Hampshire School Boards Association. In recognition of Dr. Krohne's exemplary service and leadership, he was honored by the National School Boards Association as a recipient of the Thomas A. Shannon Award for Excellence in 2003; and

Whereas, Dr. Krohne joined the South Carolina School Boards Association as executive director on January 1, 2001. Under his leadership, the association has served as a leading voice for public education in South Carolina; and

Whereas, Paul K. Krohne is the proud husband of Carryl Wischmeyer Krohne, and is blessed with sons Eric and Todd, daughter-in-law Zoe and grandchildren Liesel and Joshua; and

Whereas, during his well-earned retirement, the House trusts that Dr. Krohne will find himself more frequently able to indulge in his interests of sailing and golf, as well as engage in his numerous community improvement endeavors, including fundraising on behalf of efforts to fight Multiple Sclerosis and advocating for children's rights as a court appointed special advocate; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives deeply appreciate the years of dedication that Dr. Krohne has rendered on behalf of education and wish him a long and enjoyable retirement when he leaves his current post in July 2015. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
