SALUTING OUR DISTINGUISHED COLLEAGUE AND FRIEND IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, THE HONORABLE MOLLY M. SPEARMAN OF SALUDA COUNTY, FOR HER OUTSTANDING LEGISLATIVE SERVICE, AND EXTENDING BEST WISHES TO HER IN HER NEW POSITION AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.

Whereas, The Honorable Molly Mitchell Spearman has represented District 39 (Saluda and Lexington counties) in the House of Representatives since 1993; and

Whereas, she was chosen "Legislator of the Year" by the South Carolina American Legion for 1996 and has served as National Legislative Chairman of the American Legion Auxiliary; and

Whereas, Representative Spearman's professional life has been dedicated to public education; she is a public school music teacher and an assistant principal, and she was named "Teacher of the Year" for Chapin Elementary School for 1986; and

Whereas, she has been a dedicated legislator while serving in the General Assembly; she has provided excellent representation for the citizens of House District 39 and has worked unceasingly for the good of the State; and

Whereas, she now has been chosen by The Honorable Inez Tenenbaum, South Carolina's new Superintendent of Education, to fill the role of Deputy State Superintendent of Education for governmental affairs - an office for which she is exceptionally qualified - and will, in that capacity, serve as the Department of Education's chief liaison with the General Assembly; and

Whereas, while we will miss Representative Spearman in her capacity as a lawmaker, we are pleased that we will have continued contact with her in her new role at the Department of Education. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, salute our distinguished colleague and friend, The Honorable Molly M. Spearman of Saluda County, for her outstanding legislative service and extend best wishes to her in her new position at the State Department of Education.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to our good friend, The Honorable Molly M. Spearman.
