Whereas, it is with great pride that the South Carolina General Assembly commends those citizens who have given tirelessly of their time and talents in benefiting the lives of others; and

Whereas, Mr. Allen Brownlee is a fine example of such a person, and his life stands as a true testament of all the good that a single individual can do within a community, both personally and professionally; and

Whereas, a devoted family man, Mr. Brownlee celebrates a fortytwoyear marriage to Ella Mae Matthews and enjoys his two sons, James Matthew Brownlee and Kevin Dwayne Brownlee and their wives. His life is further blessed by five adoring grandchildren; and

Whereas, Mr. Brownlee shows his extraordinary commitment to his community by his participation in numerous civic organizations, serving as President of the St. George Jaycees and the Dorchester Academy Booster Club.

Whereas, sharing his faith and helping his church grow, Mr. Brownlee served as a deacon of Memorial Baptist Church; and

Whereas, an avid baseball fan, Mr. Brownlee has given countless hours of his time in coaching all levels of youth baseball and was an assistant baseball coach at Dorchester Academy. He also fulfilled a personal dream in 1989 by reorganizing American Legion Post 105’s baseball team; and

Whereas, at the age of sixtytwo, Mr. Brownlee is still coaching pony league baseball and helping as many young people as he can, both on the field and off the field; and

Whereas, Mr. Brownlee is sure to continue making a difference in the lives of those with whom he comes into contact long after his retirement from his fortyyear career with Edisto Electric Coop. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
