Recognizes the 40th anniversary of Great Southern Wood Preserving, Incorporated, a company founded and headquartered in Abbeville, Alabama.

Acknowledges that founder Jimmy Rane maintained the company's world headquarters in Alabama, embodying South Alabama values despite the company's global reach and reputation for quality and customer service.

Extends the Legislature's heartfelt best wishes for the company's continued expansion and success.
