Sir Creep 7,070 Posted December 1, 2019 Former South Carolina Senator Ralph Anderson has passed away at 92 years old. According to a tweet from the SC State Democrats, Anderson passed away on Saturday. Anderson represented the residents of District 7 in Greenville County for 16 years and House District 23 in the S.C. House of Representatives for five years. Anderson was a .... third-degree mason.... I didn't know I'd be getting the third degree! Is that like a black belt in masonry?
