Whereas, other South Carolina Educational Television employees traveled with Mr. Griffin and Mr. Crockett and helped to load these parts including Mr. Mike Brooks, Mr. Ed Elzer, Mr. Mike Gill, Mr. Grady Poston, and Mr. Bob Rose. These state employees went beyond the call of duty in their efforts to serve the State of South Carolina; and

Whereas, the first recipients of the Blue Granite Recognition are Mr. Griffin and Mr. Crockett. The Blue Granite Recognition is given to state employees who have demonstrated insight, initiative, and persistence which yielded extraordinary results for South Carolina and her citizens; and

Whereas, the purpose of the Blue Granite Recognition Program is to inform the public how valuable state employees are to the citizens of South Carolina and raise awareness of the very significant things state employees do on a daily basis; and

Whereas, the members of the Senate are proud to honor Mr. L. W. "Hap" Griffin and Mr. John Crockett as the first recipients of the Blue Granite Recognition for their outstanding efforts to save the citizens of South Carolina more than two hundred seventy thousand dollars. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate, by this resolution, congratulate Mr. L. W.
