Whereas, Mr. Paul J. Glenn was born in Union County, attended Morris College, and earned his Master degree from North Carolina A & T State University; and
Whereas, in 1953 he was drafted by the New York Giants as a quarterback and defensive back. However, he turned down the offer to play professional football to begin a successful teaching and coaching career; and
Whereas, from 1954 to 1966 he was employed by Gordon High School in the Town of Dillon in various capacities including school teacher, athletic director and head coach. His football teams captured seven championships, his basketball teams recorded eight regional championships and one state championship, his baseball teams won nine regional championships, twelve conference championships, and two state championships; and
Whereas, Mr. Glenn also was a school teacher and coach at Whittemore High School and a principal at Union High School for many years; and
Whereas, he was a member of many professional and civic organizations throughout his life and served as a councilman on the Union City Council; and
Whereas, he was married to the former Azalee Rowell, and together they raised five children; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize his many accomplishments by naming a street in the Town of Dillon in his 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 portion of Calhoun Street from its intersection with South Carolina Highway 57 to United States Highway 301 and the portion of East Calhoun Street from its intersection with South Carolina Highway 34 to its intersection with United States Highway 301 "Paul J.
