EXPRESSING THE CONGRATULATIONS OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO MRS. KATE BRACKNELL DORN OF MCCORMICK IN MCCORMICK COUNTY ON BEING NAMED MS. SENIOR SOUTH CAROLINA AND WISHING SUCCESS FOR HER AS SHE COMPETES IN ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY, IN APRIL, 1992, FOR THE TITLE MS. SENIOR AMERICA.
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were delighted to learn that Mrs. Kate Bracknell Dorn of McCormick in McCormick County, representing the McCormick County Council on Aging, was named Ms. South Carolina Senior America in statewide competition held in Rock Hill on January 12, 1992; and
Whereas, Mrs. Dorn, by virtue of winning the South Carolina title, will travel to Atlantic City, New Jersey, in April of this year to represent South Carolina in the Ms. Senior America Pageant; and
Whereas, this outstanding mother of four, grandmother of eight, and great-grandmother of two, who, with the exception of the World War II years, has lived her entire life in McCormick County, is a true example of the very best of family values and service to community in that Mrs. Dorn, among numerous other activities, has been a school teacher, retiring in 1989, church choir director, active volunteer with the McCormick County Council on Aging, where she instructs an aerobics class, leads the Senior Song Birds, and is an active participant in the Retired Senior Volunteer Program; and
Whereas, Mrs. Dorn, a graduate of Plum Branch High School and Lander College, in 1939 married George N. Dorn, raising four children: George, Jr., familiar to members of the General Assembly as Assistant Director of the State Budget Division; Kay, Sandy, and John C; and
Whereas, she, until the youngest child reached third grade, was a busy homemaker involved in Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, church activities, and even did catering from her home; and
Whereas, in the 1970's she began teaching music at John de la Howe School; and
Whereas, music and sports have been particularly favorite activities of Mrs. Dorn, whose love of music was inspired by her music teacher mother, thus giving rise to her long service as director of the children's choir at the McCormick First Baptist Church and directed many musical plays and skits for Long Cane Academy and the Senior Center in McCormick; and
Whereas, her love of sports was evidenced by her being an avid tennis player and a participant of the Women's Softball League for many years; and
Whereas, Mrs. Dorn is living proof that staying active and involved in family and community activities allows one to maintain a vigorous lifestyle and a truly marvelous attitude toward life; and
Whereas, it is appropriate for the members of the General Assembly to pause in their deliberations so that they might congratulate so distinguished a daughter of South Carolina on winning this honor and so that they might wish her great success in the national contest and in so doing serve as an example not only to South Carolina's senior citizens but all the residents of our beloved State. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly express their congratulations to Mrs. Kate Bracknell Dorn of McCormick in McCormick County on being named Ms. Senior South Carolina and wishing success for her as she competes in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in April, 1992, for the title of Ms. Senior America.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mrs. Kate Bracknell Dorn.
