Whereas, after Sam completed his military service, the McGregors moved to Hopkins and became successful dairy farmers; and

Whereas, in 2009 Betty was named South Carolina Mother of the Year and 2009 National Mother of the Year, two of the greatest honors she has received during her lifetime; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper to forever recognize the accomplishments of the McGregors by naming an intersection in Richland County in their honor. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the intersection of United States Highways 76 and 378 with Lower Richland Boulevard in Richland County "Betty and Sam McGregor Intersection" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this intersection that contain the words "Betty and Sam McGregor Intersection Betty - 2009 South Carolina and National Mother of the Year".
