_______

A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 
NAME the portion of Cates Bay HIGHWAY from its intersection with Highway 134 to 
its intersection with Highway 804 IN horry COUNTY "Bobby Long Martin Highway" 
AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THE 
DESIGNATION.

Whereas, Bobby Long 
Martin was a farmer, as well as the owner and operator of the Sea Horn Motel in 
Surfside. He also built, owned, and operated the Quick Shop at the corner of 
Cates Bay Highway and Highway 134 until his death in 1991; and

Whereas, Mr. Martin 
served as a Seargeant with the South Carolina National Guard until 1953 in the 
263rd Tank Battalion, C Company; and

Whereas, a civic 
leader, Mr. Martin helped establish the first fire station on Cates Bay that is 
still operational today, and he lobbied with the late Senator James Stevens to 
have Highway 804 paved for travel and school buses; and

Whereas, in 1988, Mr. 
Martin sold over an acre of land to Horry Electric Cooperative to establish a 
power substation to enable growth to the community in the area, and he sold two 
acres in 1989 to Horry County Solid Waste Authority to establish the first and 
only trash dump on Cates Bay Highway; and

Whereas, Mr. Martin 
served with a number of boards, including serving as commissioner for the South 
Carolina Soil and Water Conservation, as well as a member of the board of directors 
for the Farm Bureau, the Horry Georgetown Homebuilders Association, and the 
Southeast Lumber Manufacturer Association; and

Whereas, Mr. Martin leaves 
to cherish his memory his wife, Dianne Martin; and

Whereas, it would be 
only fitting and proper to pay tribute to this son of South Carolina by naming 
a portion of road in the State in his honor. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the 
South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the 
Department of Transportation name the portion of Cates Bay Highway from its 
intersection with Highway 134 to its intersection with Highway 804 in Horry County 
"Bobby Long Martin Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this 
location containing the designation.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation 
and presented to the family of Bobby Long Martin.
