Whereas, in 1965, Mr. Cook became principal of Geiger Elementary School in Ridgeway; and

Whereas, he has been active in numerous professional and civic organizations and has served on the Fairfield County Council and the Fairfield County Substance Abuse Commission; and

Whereas, he is an outstanding individual who has always given freely of his time, talents, and energy and is a gentleman who is greatly respected and admired by all who know him; and

Whereas, his professional career in education has consistently been marked by the highest ideals and he has set many excellent examples for other South Carolina educators to follow; and
