A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE BRIDGE THAT CROSSES WAPPOO CREEK ALONG WAPPOO ROAD AND NORTH EDGEWATER DRIVE IN CHARLESTON COUNTY "DAVID EARL HOLT MEMORIAL BRIDGE" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS BRIDGE THAT CONTAIN THIS DESIGNATION.
Whereas, David Earl Holt was born on October 8, 1959, in Spartanburg, the son of John Earl Holt and Dorcas "Dot" Holt Story, and died on February 21, 2015, in Charleston after a long battle with cancer; and
Whereas, he graduated from St. Andrews Parish High School in Charleston County in 1977; and
Whereas, beginning in 1988, David served as the Marketing Director of MWR at the Naval Weapons Station and Joint Base Charleston where he created graphics and promotions for the base facility and designed brand identities for many base businesses; and
Whereas, he organized the popular annual Edgewater Park Bridge Run, a whimsical .1 mile parody of the Cooper River Bridge Run that highlighted the uniqueness of his West Ashley community; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to pay tribute to this son of South Carolina by naming the Edgewater Park Bridge in Charleston County 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 bridge that crosses Wappoo Creek along Wappoo Road and North Edgewater Drive in Charleston County "David Earl Holt Memorial Bridge" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this bridge that contain this designation.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
