I just wanted to let yall know that I love my friend Reid Sherard. He is, in all respects, the True Gentleman. RTS was recently honored as the Distinguished Honors Alumni for the University of South Carolina. That fool actually asked me to write him a recommendation. After pages of words about his professional accomplishments, this is the paragraph I inserted at the end. Love you Reid: III. Personal Reid and I are brothers in the fraternity of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, having pledged the fraternity together in the Fall of 1996. Our fraternity is based on striving to be The True Gentleman. Never in my life have I met more of a true gentleman than Reid T. Sherard. His deed always follows his word. He thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own. He appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe. Reid is a devoted husband to his beautiful and highly successful wife, attorney Carrie Fisher Sherard. He has scores of nieces and nephews that worship the ground that their funny and loving Uncle Reid walks on. He has more friends than the universe could ever count--and he is the best friend that I have ever had in my life. He is a true friend that will stick with you through tough and challenging times. He has an infectious laugh and a smile as wide as Carolina. He can tell a story better than Aesop and you should watch out when hes on the dance floor as hes a master of the state dance, the Shag. He is not just a Gamecock fan--rather, he is a Gamecock fanatic. He often travels to away football games and he is a highly dedicated tailgater at Williams Brice. He is the type of individual that the University should want to award this high achievement--as he will honor it with the zeal that it deserves. I strongly encourage Reid’s selection for the Distinguished Honors Alumni Award, and I appreciate your giving Reid’s nomination close consideration.
