Honoring the late A. James Manchin by declaring that Route 250 in
Marion County, currently known as "The Husky Highway", shall
continue to exist in honor of A. James Manchin.
Whereas, A. James Manchin was a flamboyant and dedicated public
servant whose uniquely honest, compassionate and down-to-earth
spirit and persona were indelibly derived from the people, culture,
history, climate and topography of this, his beloved State. In
accordance with his spiritual and personal roots, he never
hesitated to boast of his birth in a United Mine Workers barracks,
which he characterized as being "one step below a log cabin"; and
Whereas, A. James Manchin, was a resilient man with a long and
distinguished career as a public servant. He had faced and survived
the rigors, pitfalls and adversity of political turmoil and strife to emerge with his good humor, compassion for fellow human beings
and integrity all intact; and
Whereas, A. James Manchin, at the time of his death, was an
active member of this House of Delegates; and
Whereas, A. James Manchin served variously as a member of the
House of Delegates, the Director of the Rehabilitation
Environmental Action Program (REAP), Secretary of State and State
Treasurer. He also taught civics classes to students in Greenbrier,
Webster, Wetzel and Wood Counties; and
Whereas, A. James Manchin was born, lived and died in Marion
County, unexpectedly departing this world on November 3, 2003,
sadly missed by his family, friends and those others whose lives he
touched with his good humor and good will; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That Route 250 in Marion County, currently known as "The Husky
Highway," shall continue to exist in honor of A. James Manchin, our
recently departed colleague and friend; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of Highways is hereby
requested to design, cause to be fabricated, and erect at
appropriate intervals, signs clearly demarking the portion of Route
250 which traverses Marion County known as "The Husky Highway",
"The Husky Highway - in honor of A. James Manchin"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to provide
a copy of this resolution to Stella Manchin (surviving spouse), Patty Manchin, Roseanne Manchin and Mark Manchin (surviving
children), Rose Levitsky (surviving sister), Joe Manchin and the
