Whereas, in 1993, Mr. Montgomery was appointed to serve on the Piedmont Citizens Committee on Judicial Qualifications, bringing with him his extensive expertise, to the great benefit of the Committee; and whereas he was appointed as the Chair of that Committee in 2004; and

Whereas, married to Ms. Annie Fudge Montgomery, he is the proud father of two daughters, Lynn Moore of Fort Lawn and Susan Prete of Lancaster, and the proud father of two sons, David Montgomery of Greensboro and Derek Montgomery of Edgemoor; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, grateful for Mr. Charles A.
