A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND MR. HUGH BOYCE "BO" FAULKNER III UPON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT FROM THE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO WISH HIM CONTINUED SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, born in Rock Hill to the late Hugh Boyce Faulkner II and Ms. Jane Faulkner, Bo graduated from Rock Hill High School and in preparation for his life's work, he earned a bachelor of arts degree in journalism from the University of South Carolina in 1967; and

Whereas, at U.S.C. he was a devoted brother of Kappa Alpha Order where he served as social and recruitment chair during his senior year. He was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award by the University of South Carolina Alumni Association in 1982, was a graduate of Leadership South Carolina Class of 1984, and was awarded the Order of Palmetto, the state's highest civilian award, by Governor Richard Riley in 1983; and

Whereas, after a brief job in the advertising industry, Bo was hired by the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce as its governmental relations executive. In 1984, he began working for the Medical University of South Carolina under former Governor and then President James E. "Jim" Edwards as the chief lobbyist for governmental relations. He was soon elected as secretary to the Board of Trustees, a capacity in which he served until his retirement; and

Whereas, a man of faith, Bo Faulkner finds his spiritual strength through membership at Edisto Island Presbyterian Church. An avid fan of country music, he enjoys attending concerts, traveling to his "second homes" in Argentina, Nashville, and Las Vegas, spending time on the water at his home on Edisto Island, and supporting his beloved University of South Carolina Gamecocks athletic teams; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is grateful for the legacy of leadership Bo Faulkner has bestowed and appreciates the long and enduring guidance he has given not only to the Medical University, but to the citizens of South Carolina, and takes great pleasure in wishing him well as he enters retirement and trusts he will find much enjoyment in the more leisurely pace of the days ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize and commend Mr. Hugh Boyce Faulkner III upon the occasion of his retirement from the Medical University of South Carolina and wish him continued success and happiness in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Bo Faulkner.
