TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE BRIDGE THAT CROSSES THE WACCAMAW RIVER ALONG UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 501 BYPASS IN HORRY COUNTY “LOIS EARGLE BRIDGE” AND TO ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS BRIDGE CONTAINING THIS DESIGNATION.
Whereas, the Honorable M. Lois Eargle of Conway has served as Horry County Auditor since 1993; and
Whereas, active in politics and civic affairs, from 1976 to 1984, Mrs. Eargle represented House District 105 for four consecutive terms in the South Carolina House of Representatives. She later served as a member of the South Carolina Highway Commission; and
Whereas, she was appointed to the President’s Commission on Mental Retardation by President Ronald Reagan, a post she held throughout President Reagan’s second term; and
Whereas, she has served as an officer of many civic and charitable groups in the Pee Dee region, including the March of Dimes and the Horry County Shelter Home; and
Whereas, Mrs. Eargle has served on the Board of Visitors of Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina. She is a graduate of the University of South Carolina’s Institute of Government, and was bestowed the honorary doctor of Public Service degree from Coastal Carolina University; and
Whereas, she and her husband Jack, who have been married since 1952, are both civicminded individuals who take pride in serving the public, taking care of their family, and working on all the various projects God has entrusted them to do; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize the many accomplishments of Mrs. Lois Eargle by naming a bridge in Horry County in her honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That members of the General Assembly request the Department of Transportation name the bridge that crosses the Waccamaw River along United States Highway 501 Bypass in Horry County “Lois Eargle Bridge” and to erect appropriate markers or signs at this bridge containing this designation.
