A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE GEORGETOWN COUNTY COUNCIL AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES NAME THE SAMPIT RIVER BOAT PARK LANDING PROJECT THE “CARROLL ASHMORE CAMPBELL MARINE COMPLEX” IN HONOR OF ONE OF THE PALMETTO STATE’S MOST BELOVED LEADERS.

Whereas, the Honorable Carroll Ashmore Campbell, Jr. was born in Greenville, South Carolina on July 24, 1940, the son of Carroll Ashmore and Anne Williams Campbell; and

Whereas, he was happily married to the former Iris Faye Rhodes of Liberty, and together they raised two sons, Carroll A. Campbell III and Richard Michael Campbell II; and

Whereas, Governor Campbell received a Masters of Arts degree from American University; and

Whereas, he served in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 1971 to 1974, served in the South Carolina Senate from 1977 to 1978, and served in the United States House of Representatives from 1978 to 1986; and

Whereas, in 1986 he was elected Governor of the State of South Carolina and was only the second individual to serve in this capacity for two terms; and

Whereas, he dedicated his life to serving his beloved Palmetto State and his country; and

Whereas, during his two terms as Governor, Carroll Campbell provided extraordinary leadership prior to, during, and in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo, one of the most trying times for the people of South Carolina; and

Whereas, Carroll Campbell’s service as Governor also will be remembered as a period of unprecedented economic growth for our State; and

Whereas, he had a great love for the lowcounty. The Governor’s Cup Bill Fishing Series, started by Governor Campbell, began at the Land’s End Marina where he kept his boat for many years. This fishing tournament exemplifies the ideals of Georgetown County’s Sampit River Boat Landing Project as it brought recognition to this area and promoted economic development; and

Whereas, the citizens of this State and nation lost one of its most beloved leaders in 2005 when Governor Campbell succumbed to the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s Disease; and

Whereas, in light of Governor Campbell’s personal commitment to the economic development of Georgetown County, it would be a fitting tribute to this great South Carolinian to name the Sampit River Boat Landing Project in Georgetown County in his honor. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the Georgetown County Council and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources name the Sampit River Boat Landing Project the “Carroll Ashmore Campbell Marine Complex” in honor of one of South Carolina’s most beloved leaders.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Georgetown County Council and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
