Life has come full circle for a retired lead manager of the sign crew for the South Carolina Department of Transport. Four decades after he saved five teens from drowning, a sign will be erected at a busy intersection in his name to recognize his heroic action.

Ken Moore, 76, who installed signs for years for the SCDOT was honored at a ceremony in Columbia on Sept. 17 after a public request to the DOT to name the busy Camp Road and Riverland Drive intersection was made. The bill was officially backed by Sen. Sandy Senn, R-Charleston.
