TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND HENRY EDSEL "SEL" HEMINGWAY, JR., OF GEORGETOWN COUNTY FOR HIS YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE AS GEORGETOWN COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR AND COMMITMENT TO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are delighted to pause in their deliberations to recognize individuals who devote themselves to improving the Palmetto State. Henry Edsel "Sel" Hemingway, Jr., a native of Andrews in western Georgetown County, is one such person; and

Whereas, the oldest of five children, he was born to Edsel and the late Anne Rhem Hemingway of Hemingway, and is a graduate of Clemson University. A licensed certified public accountant, he managed his family's Ford dealership until April 2008, when he resigned to become the county administrator for Georgetown County; and

Whereas, Mr. Hemingway has brought commitment and leadership to Georgetown County as a longtime dedicated public servant. Prior to serving as county administrator, he was a member of the Georgetown County Council for eleven years, following in his father's footsteps, eight of which he spent as chairman; and

Whereas, Mr. Hemingway has proven to be generous with his time and talents in numerous ways. Beyond his service to the county, he has served two terms as president of the Andrews Rotary Club, as well as serving as president of the Andrews Industrial Development Corporation, chairman of the Georgetown County United Way campaign, and chairman of the Georgetown County Economic Development Commission; and

Whereas, a man of faith, Mr. Hemingway is a member of Trinity United Methodist Church. In addition to attending services, he teaches Sunday school and serves as a certified lay speaker; and

Whereas, in his personal life, Mr. Hemingway has been extraordinarily blessed. He and his wife, Kathy, have four children and fourteen grandchildren whom they love and cherish; and

Whereas, he enjoys the great outdoors, including hunting, fishing, camping, and golfing, and he regularly attends Clemson football and basketball games with his family, especially his grandsons. Never taking himself too seriously, he also enjoys portraying Forest Gump to elicit laughter, tears, and profound thought from others; and

Whereas, appreciative of the legacy of consistent commitment and excellence Henry Edsel "Sel" Hemingway, Jr., has bestowed on this great State, particularly Georgetown County, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives take great pleasure in thanking him for his public service. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend Henry Edsel "Sel" Hemingway, Jr., of Georgetown County for his years of dedicated service as Georgetown County Administrator and commitment to the state of South Carolina.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Henry Edsel "Sel" Hemingway, Jr.
