House Joint Resolution 541, sponsored by Representative Camper, honors Andrew and Rose Pollard as they celebrate their sixtieth wedding anniversary. The resolution highlights their enduring marriage, which began on March 26, 1965, and has served as a model of love and commitment through both joyful and challenging times. The Pollards are recognized not only for their strong family values, having raised three children and become proud grandparents and great-grandparents, but also for their contributions to their community as respected business owners of A & R Barbecue and active members of New Direction Christian Church.
The resolution emphasizes the Pollards' exemplary character, their dedication to treating others with kindness, and their involvement in community service. It acknowledges their roles within the church, where they contribute to various ministries and financial oversight. The General Assembly expresses its admiration for the Pollards' marriage as a foundational element of society, wishing them continued happiness in the years ahead. An appropriate copy of the resolution will be prepared for presentation, omitting the final clause.
