THE COMMITTEE ON

INVITATIONS AND MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 5193) to request the Department of Transportation to name the bridge on Harbor View Road over James Island Creek in Charleston County the Dr. Julian Thomas Buxton, Jr., etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:

ROBERT W. LEACH, SR. for Committee.

            

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THE BRIDGE ON HARBOR VIEW ROAD OVER JAMES ISLAND CREEK IN CHARLESTON COUNTY THE DR. JULIAN THOMAS BUXTON, JR. BRIDGE AND TO INSTALL APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THE BRIDGE CONTAINING THE WORDS "DR. JULIAN THOMAS BUXTON, JR. BRIDGE".

Whereas, Julian Thomas Buxton, Jr., M.D. was born in Sumter, South Carolina, and received his education and training at many noteworthy institutions, including Woodberry Forest School, Princeton University, Johns Hopkins Medical School, Roosevelt Hospital, and the Medical University of South Carolina; and

Whereas, Dr. Buxton dutifully served his country as a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy; and

Whereas, he exemplified his concern for all peoples by his volunteer service in treating Vietnamese civilians in the surgical hospital at DaNang in 1966 and through his role in 1976 in the Episcopal Surgical Mission to the Dominican Republic; and

Whereas, Dr. Buxton served faithfully as a member of the Board of Directors for Roper Hospital for over thirty years, during which time he also served as President of the Medical Society of South Carolina from 1986-1989; and

Whereas, for his many years of commitment to medical education of health care professionals, the Julian T. Buxton, Jr., M.D. Education Endowment has been established; and

Whereas, through his devotion to South Carolina, and especially the Charleston region, and by his own demonstration of unwavering commitment to doing something because "it's the right thing to do", its citizens are able to enjoy access to outstanding quality and service provided by not-for-profit medicine; and

Whereas, in that Dr. Buxton represents the finest of all that is good about those who care for one another, it is proper and fitting that tribute be paid to him for his many contributions and outstanding attributes by naming a bridge in Charleston County in his honor. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation to name the bridge on Harbor View Road over James Island Creek in Charleston County the Dr. Julian Thomas Buxton, Jr. Bridge and to install appropriate markers or signs at the bridge containing the words "Dr. Julian Thomas Buxton, Jr. Bridge".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
