TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION RENAME THE BRIDGE THAT SPANS THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY ALONG SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 9 IN HORRY COUNTY THE "CAPTAIN ARCHIE NEIL 'POO' MCLAUCHLIN SWING BRIDGE" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THE BRIDGE CONTAINING THIS DESIGNATION.
Whereas, Captain Archie Neil "Poo" McLauchlin was born on May 16, 1935; and
Whereas, he served our nation with distinction as a member of the United States Air Force from 1954 until 1958; and
Whereas, as an infant, his father took him to the opening of the swing bridge that spans the Intracoastal Waterway along South Carolina Highway 9 in Horry County; and
Whereas, he has been a boater since the age of fourteen and a captain since 1961; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize the many contributions that Captain McLauchlin has made to our State and nation by having the swing bridge that spans the Intracoastal Waterway along South Carolina Highway 9 in Horry County renamed 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 rename the bridge that spans the Intracoastal Waterway along South Carolina Highway 9 in Horry County the "Captain Archie Neil 'Poo' McLauchlin Swing Bridge" and erect appropriate markers or signs at the bridge containing this designation.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
