A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO REQUEST THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THE BRIDGE AT THE AMTRAK STATION ON U.S. HIGHWAY 1 IN FRONT OF THE AMERICAN LEGION BUILDING IN CAMDEN THE “DONALD HARRY HOLLAND BRIDGE” IN HONOR OF THE LATE SENATOR DONALD HOLLAND OF KERSHAW.
Whereas, the late Senator Donald H. Holland devoted over half a century of his life to continuous public service, having been first elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1950; and
Whereas, at the time of his death, he was the longest serving active lawmaker in South Carolina, having served in the South Carolina Senate since 1969; and
Whereas, as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee from 1995 to 2002, he devoted much of his energy and attention to children’s issues and domestic violence, and for these efforts, he was named Legislator of the Year; and
Whereas, in 1988, Senator Holland served as Chairman of the General Assembly’s Screening Committee for Candidates for the Public Service Commission which began a fifteen-year effort to reform the qualifications of Public Service Commissioners; and
Whereas, Senator Holland was born in Cassatt on August 19, 1928, the son of the late Eugene and Alberta Branham Holland; and
Whereas, he was devoted to his wife, the former Betty Bell, and to his daughter, Elizabeth ‘Lisa’ Holland; and
Whereas, Senator Holland was active in his faith as a member of the Lyttleton Street United Methodist Church in Camden; and
Whereas, he was a member of the VFW, American Legion, Woodmen of the World, and was a 33rd Degree Mason and Shriner. He was also a member of Kershaw County Historical Society and the Caroliniana Society; and
Whereas, he was a long-time member of the Board of Directors of the First Palmetto Savings Bank; and
Whereas, Senator Holland entered the United States Armed Forces at the age of eighteen, serving in Japan at the conclusion of World War II. Upon his honorable discharge from the military in 1948, he entered the University of South Carolina. He graduated from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1951 and was a successful and highly respected attorney in Camden and Kershaw County; and
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly believe it a fitting tribute to Senator Holland and his family for a bridge in his home county to be 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 the South Carolina Department of Transportation to name the bridge at the Amtrak Station on U. S. Highway 1 in front of the American Legion building in Camden the “Donald Harry Holland Bridge” in honor of the late Senator Donald Holland of Kershaw.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
