A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
EXPRESSING THE CONGRATULATIONS OF THE MEMBERS OF
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO MRS. KATE BRACKNELL DORN
OF MCCORMICK IN MCCORMICK COUNTY ON BEING NAMED
MS. SENIOR SOUTH CAROLINA AND WISHING SUCCESS FOR
HER AS SHE COMPETES IN ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY, IN
APRIL, 1992, FOR THE TITLE MS. SENIOR AMERICA.
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were delighted to learn
that Mrs. Kate Bracknell Dorn of McCormick in McCormick County,
representing the McCormick County Council on Aging, was named Ms.
South Carolina Senior America in statewide competition held in Rock
Hill on January 12, 1992; and
Whereas, Mrs. Dorn, by virtue of winning the South Carolina title, will
travel to Atlantic City, New Jersey, in April of this year to represent
South Carolina in the Ms. Senior America Pageant; and
Whereas, this outstanding mother of four, grandmother of eight, and
great-grandmother of two, who, with the exception of the World War II
years, has lived her entire life in McCormick County, is a true example
of the very best of family values and service to community in that Mrs.
Dorn, among numerous other activities, has been a school teacher,
retiring in 1989, church choir director, active volunteer with the
McCormick County Council on Aging, where she instructs an aerobics
class, leads the Senior Song Birds, and is an active participant in the
Retired Senior Volunteer Program; and
Whereas, Mrs. Dorn, a graduate of Plum Branch High School and
Lander College, in 1939 married George N. Dorn, raising four children:
George, Jr., familiar to members of the General Assembly as Assistant
Director of the State Budget Division; Kay, Sandy, and John C; and
Whereas, she, until the youngest child reached third grade, was a busy
homemaker involved in Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, church activities, and
even did catering from her home; and
Whereas, in the 1970's she began teaching music at John de la Howe
School; and
Whereas, music and sports have been particularly favorite activities of
Mrs. Dorn, whose love of music was inspired by her music teacher
mother, thus giving rise to her long service as director of the children's
choir at the McCormick First Baptist Church and directed many musical
plays and skits for Long Cane Academy and the Senior Center in
McCormick; and
Whereas, her love of sports was evidenced by her being an avid tennis
player and a participant of the Women's Softball League for many years;
and
Whereas, Mrs. Dorn is living proof that staying active and involved in
family and community activities allows one to maintain a vigorous
lifestyle and a truly marvelous attitude toward life; and
Whereas, it is appropriate for the members of the General Assembly to
pause in their deliberations so that they might congratulate so
distinguished a daughter of South Carolina on winning this honor and
so that they might wish her great success in the national contest and in
so doing serve as an example not only to South Carolina's senior citizens
but all the residents of our beloved State. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly express their congratulations
to Mrs. Kate Bracknell Dorn of McCormick in McCormick County on
being named Ms. Senior South Carolina and wishing success for her as
she competes in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in April, 1992, for the title
of Ms. Senior America.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mrs.
Kate Bracknell Dorn.
