TO COMMEND LINDSEY DANIELLE KNIPP FOR HER THREE AND A HALF YEARS OF OUTSTANDING AND DEDICATED SERVICE AS A PROOFREADER TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE AND TO WISH HER MUCH SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, Lindsey Danielle Knipp is the daughter of Dean and Tammy Knipp, sibling of Ashley, and aunt to Addelynn and Caleb. Known as "Ohio" by her closest friends, she now can go by "S.C." as well, since her parents own a house on Lake Greenwood in Ninety Six; and

Whereas, Lindsey graduated cum laude from Columbia College in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts in English. She was awarded the college's highest academic honor, the Order of the Purple Seal; and

Whereas, while at Columbia College, Lindsey was a member of the college's softball team, the Koalas, and served as the team's captain in 2014, when the team earned the Champions of Character award, which is a values-based award with great emphasis placed on service; and

Whereas, after graduation, Lindsey served as an assistant softball coach for Columbia College and, for the 2017 to 2018 season, served as an assistant softball coach for the Spring Valley High School softball team, where she loved working with the students and teaching them technical skills, teamwork, and leadership; and

Whereas, in 2014, Lindsey came to work as a proofreader with the Senate Judiciary Committee, where she reviewed an incalculable number of summaries, reports, amendments, and bills on diverse and complex issues and a range of subjects, including Alcoholic Beverages, Criminal Procedure, Family Law, Judicial Merit Selection, and State and Local Government Structure. Lindsey's reputation for diligence, precision, and professionalism have made her a valued and respected member of the Senate Judiciary Committee staff; and

Whereas, Lindsey also played on the Senate Filibusters softball team, with her experience as a pitcher for Columbia College and as a softball coach making her a first round draft choice. Her diligent efforts brought the Filibusters a brief measure of victory before it was cruelly snatched by the House Amenders' jaws of defeat; and

Whereas, Lindsey exercises infinite patience while at work and demonstrates leadership skills on the field. She is an example of physical fitness in her daily life as an active member of Base 10 Fitness; and

Whereas, even though her work here might have convinced her to pursue another field, Lindsey has elected to go to law school at Arizona State University after having received a significant scholarship; and

Whereas, Lindsey carries with her the sincere best wishes of the members of the Senate, her Senate Judiciary staff colleagues, and her many friends and associates in state government and the private sector. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, commend Lindsey Danielle Knipp for her three and a half years of outstanding and dedicated service as a proofreader to the South Carolina Senate Judiciary Committee and wish her much success and happiness in all her future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Lindsey Danielle Knipp.
