Whereas, the members of the Senate were delighted to note that Mr. Dennis L. Horton of Landrum in Spartanburg County was named South Carolina Textile Citizen of the Year by the South Carolina Textile Manufacturers Association; and

Whereas, the award was announced by Governor Carroll Campbell in a State House ceremony honoring the textile industry in October, 1994; and

Whereas, Mr. Horton, an Engineering Services Maintenance Technician and member of the Equipment Improvement Team for the Total Productive Maintenance Program at the Dewey Plant of Milliken and Company in Inman, was selected for the award from ninety thousand South Carolina textile industry employees in recognition for his commitment to excellence on the job and in the community; and

Whereas, besides his outstanding work for his textile employer, he typifies the best kind of citizenship and community involvement, exemplified by his service as a volunteer fireman for the Landrum Fire Department, his visits to senior citizens to install smoke detectors at no cost, his leadership in Boy Scouts Troop 155, his work for the Parent Teacher Association, where his assistance in installing playground equipment at O.P. Earle Elementary School saved the PTA thousands of dollars; and
