The resolution proposes to honor the memory of William Howell "Skip" Rogers, Sr. by designating a section of Alabama State Highway Route 157, specifically between mile markers 40 and 41 in Lawrence County, as the William Howell Rogers, Sr. Memorial Mile. Mr. Rogers, a veteran of the Korean Conflict who served in the United States Air Force, was a prominent figure in his community, practicing law for over 50 years as the City Attorney and City Judge of Moulton, Alabama. He was also known for his dedication to his faith and his service to others, leaving a lasting legacy upon his passing on March 24, 2020.
The resolution calls upon the Alabama Department of Transportation to work with local officials to implement this designation and to install appropriate signage to commemorate Mr. Rogers' contributions to the community. This act reflects the legislature's recognition of his significant impact and service to the people of Moulton and the state of Alabama.
