A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE EDWIN J. ZOBEL ON THE OCCASION OF HIS LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION AS AN EMPLOYEE OF THE STATE BOARD FOR TECHNICAL AND COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATION AND TO WISH HIM IMMENSE HAPPINESS IN HIS RETIREMENT.

Whereas, Edwin J. "Ed" Zobel has represented the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education at the State House since 1974, and for thirty-one years he has been a valued colleague and friend to many; and

Whereas, during his time with the Technical College System, technical colleges have grown to enroll nearly half of all public higher education undergraduates; and

Whereas, he has served as a valued resource to legislators and staff on issues related to technical education and South Carolina's workforce education efforts; and

Whereas, he has worked closely with others in the higher education community, serving several terms as chairman of the Higher Education Legislative Liaison Organization where he was instrumental in adding the term "organization" so that it could be called the HELLO group; and

Whereas, Ed has become known as a man who lives life to the fullest and has the stories to prove it; and

Whereas, Ed Zobel was born with a twinkle in his eye longing to tell a humorous story at a moment's notice; and

Whereas, Ed helped bring opera to the State House by asking a lady to sing as one session reached a close; and

Whereas, in addition to his work with the General Assembly, Ed served in the South Carolina Air National Guard, as the Executive Director of the Greater Columbia Community Relations Council, as the Finance Director and Administrative Assistant to Richland County Council, and as the Executive Director of the Capital City Development Foundation, and is a faithful member of Macedonia Lutheran Church; and

Whereas, he will begin his retirement from service to the State of South Carolina on December 31, 2005, and plans to spend more time enjoying life with his wife Lee and his sons and daughters-in-law Jay and Rhonda and Steve and Cathy, and hunting, golfing, and fishing with his grandson Josh at their home on Lake Murray; and

Whereas, Ed has tirelessly and faithfully represented the technical colleges for thirty-one years and always has done his best to provide timely, accurate information to the General Assembly. Ed will always be known for his genteel manner, his good humor, and his commitment to excellence. Now, therefore,

Be it further resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate congratulate Edwin J. Zobel on the occasion of his last legislative session as an employee of the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education and wish him immense happiness in his retirement.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mr. Edwin J. Zobel.
