Whereas, he has worked closely with others in the higher education community, serving several terms as chairman of the Higher Education Legislative Liaison Organization where he was instrumental in adding the term “organization” so that it could be called the HELLO group; and

Whereas, Ed has become known as a man who lives life to the fullest and has the stories to prove it; and

Whereas, Ed Zobel was born with a twinkle in his eye longing to tell a humorous story at a moment’s notice; and

Whereas, he will begin his retirement from service to the State of South Carolina on December 31, 2005, and plans to spend more time enjoying life with his wife Lee and his sons and daughtersinlaw Jay and Rhonda and Steve and Cathy, and hunting, golfing, and fishing with his grandson Josh at their home on Lake Murray; and

Whereas, Ed has tirelessly and faithfully represented the technical colleges for thirtyone years and always has done his best to provide timely, accurate information to the General Assembly. Ed will always be known for his genteel manner, his good humor, and his commitment to excellence. Now, therefore,

Be it further resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate congratulate Edwin J. Zobel on the occasion of his last legislative session as an employee of the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education and wish him immense happiness in his retirement.
