   05/27/15  House  Introduced and adopted (House Journal-page 30)

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR DON BARRETT OF COLONY SQUARE BARBER SHOP IN SUMTER FOR HIS FORTY-NINE YEARS OF OUTSTANDING BARBERING SERVICE TO THE SUMTER COMMUNITY, TO CONGRATULATE HIM ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT, AND TO WISH HIM WELL IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives has learned that Don Barrett of Colony Square Barber Shop soon will retire from a sixty-year career as a barber, eleven of those years having been spent in California and forty-nine of them having been spent in Sumter; and

Whereas, since 1984, he has served at Colony Square Barber Shop, giving him thirty-one years at that Sumter institution; and

Whereas, the eighty-four-year-old learned his trade at a men's hairstyling school in California before coming to Sumter. As he says, "In 1967, I was the first barber in Sumter who went to school to learn men's hairstyling. Nobody had ever heard of such a thing in Sumter"; and

Whereas, Don Barrett, who is a good listener (an excellent trait in a barber), declares that barbering has been a good living and that he has always enjoyed his customers. All the same, he and his wife are excited about doing some traveling in the days ahead; and

Whereas, appreciative of his almost half century of exceptional service to the people of Sumter, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in extending to Don Barrett best wishes for a satisfying and rewarding retirement. 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 honor Don Barrett of Colony Square Barber Shop in Sumter for his forty-nine years of outstanding barbering service to the Sumter community, congratulate him on the occasion of his retirement, and wish him well in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Don Barrett.
