About 300 people were in attendance as Roland Gardner, left, Chief Executive Officer of Beaufort-Jasper-Hampton Comprehensive Health Services (BJHCHS), was honored for his 41 years of service during a retirement party Saturday evening on Hilton Head Island. S.C. Rep. Shannon Erickson, right, presented Gardner with a resolution from the S.C. House of Representatives and an American flag that flew over the S.C. statehouse. Gardner’s retirement was officially May 31. However, due to Covid concerns, the reception and dinner were postponed so more people could attend. Bob Sofaly/The Island News
