HR1942: HR1942 Dan Magill Memorial Intersection; Clarke County; dedicate

This resolution honors Dan Magill, a longtime University of Georgia athletics figure who died in 2014. It recounts his life: growing up in Athens, working as a bat boy and tennis manager, serving in the Marine Corps during World War II, later becoming the university's sports information director, founding The Georgia Bulldog newspaper and the Bulldog Club, and coaching the UGA tennis program for 34 years. The resolution's operative action names the intersection of State Route 15AL (S. Milledge Avenue) and Woodlawn Avenue in Athens-Clarke County the Dan Magill Memorial Intersection. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to put up and maintain signs marking the dedication, and instructs the Clerk of the House to send copies of the resolution to Magill's family and to the department.

• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send copies of the resolution to Magill's family and to the Department of Transportation.
