TO CONGRATULATE LEO REDMOND UPON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT, TO COMMEND HIM FOR HIS TWENTY-THREE YEARS OF SERVICE AS DIRECTOR OF THE CAYCE HISTORICAL MUSEUM, AND TO WISH HIM CONTINUED SUCCESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are pleased to recognize Leo Redmond upon the occasion of his retirement; and
Whereas, a native and lifelong resident of Cayce, Mr. Redmond knows the city better than the back of his hand. An expert guide to this "Cradle of the Midlands," he has been motivated to tell Cayce's history as he's watched the city evolve; and
Whereas, Mr. Redmond's encyclopedic knowledge of the area stems from his research, which has ranged from conducting library and archival studies to finding artifacts with a metal detector. His historical knowledge of the area extends back to its earliest period of human habitation; and
Whereas, passionate about preserving the city's history and educating others, Mr. Redmond is one of the original founders of the Cayce Historical Museum, which was donated to the City of Cayce in 1991. He has served as the director of this educational and cultural asset since 1994; and
Whereas, in curating the museum's collection, Mr. Redmond attained one of the largest collections of Native American artifacts in the Southeast, which was donated based on the family's respect for Mr. Redmond's expertise. He also contributed a significant amount of his own collection to the museum's display; and
Whereas, dedicated to documenting Cayce's past, Mr. Redmond and his assistant, Rachel Steen, are writing a book about Cayce's rich history and untold stories. Anecdotes will include local heroes and celebrities that have made an impact on the city; and
Whereas, the members of the Senate are grateful for the many years of service and devotion that Leo Redmond has given to the people and the State of South Carolina. The members take immense pleasure in wishing him well as he enters retirement and trust that he will find much enjoyment in the more leisurely pace of the days ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate Leo Redmond upon the occasion of his retirement, commend him for his twenty-three years of service as director of the Cayce Historical Museum, and wish him continued success in all his future endeavors.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Leo Redmond.
