COMMITTEE REPORT
March 12, 1997
S. 348
S. Printed 3/12/97--H.
Read the first time March 6, 1997.
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 348), to request the Department of Transportation to name the bridge on Highway 8 at the Saluda River in Anderson County, etc., respectfully
That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:
RICHARD M. QUINN, JR., for Committee.
TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THE BRIDGE ON HIGHWAY 8 AT THE SALUDA RIVER IN ANDERSON COUNTY IN HONOR OF THE LATE JOHN ALFRED PHIBBS AND TO ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS.
Whereas, the late John Alfred Phibbs of Pelzer was a tireless public servant and a widely respected educator who served Anderson County School District One for 46 years; and
Whereas, Mr. Phibbs was a graduate of Newberry College and the University of South Carolina where he received a master's degree; and
Whereas, his selfless service to the citizens of the Pelzer community included 35 years of service as member and President of the Pelzer Lions Club with perfect attendance; and
Whereas, Mr. Phibbs was a Life Member of Pelzer Masonic Lodge #217; and
Whereas, he was a member of Pelzer First Baptist Church where he taught Sunday school for 41 years, served as a deacon for 40 years, and was elected numerous times as Chairman of the Deacons Board; and
Whereas, Mr. Phibbs was an educator and role model to Anderson County youths when he held the position of Assistant Principal of Palmetto High School for 36 years; and
Whereas, the John A. Phibbs National Honor Society was established in his honor at Palmetto High School and the school's annual, "The Palmetto Log," was dedicated to him in 1954, 1972, and 1983; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly believe it would be a fitting tribute to this outstanding South Carolinian if the Department of Transportation were to name a particular bridge in Anderson County in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it further resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly hereby request the Department of Transportation to name the bridge on Highway 8 at the Saluda River in honor of the late John Alfred Phibbs and to erect appropriate markers or signs.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
