Whereas, he has served as president of the National District Attorneys Association, Chairman of the Board of the National District Attorneys Association, and currently is Chairman of the Board of Regents of the National College of District Attorneys; and
Whereas, he is married to the former Gracy Long, and together they are the proud parents of three daughters; and
Whereas, it is fitting and proper to recognize the outstanding service that Solicitor John R. Justice has provided the people of South Carolina by having an interchange in his native Chester County named in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name the interchange located at Exit Number 55 along Interstate Highway 77 in Chester County “Solicitor John R.
