- Dedication at Medical University of South Carolina
In Memory of
Lewis Wardlaw Haskell Blackman
1985-2000
Lewis Wardlaw Haskell Blackman was one of South Carolina's most promising young citizens. He was dearly loved by his parents and sister. Lewis had a premature and potentially preventable hospital death. As a testament to his remarkable young life and as a commitment to advance the health and safety of all South Carolinians, the Medical University of South Carolina and Health Sciences South Carolina have dedicated an endowed chair in Clinical Effectiveness and Patient Safety to his memory. Honoring Lewis in this enduring manner will serve always as a reminder that our primary mission is the health and safety of our patients.

Born Sept. 6, 1985, Lewis died Monday, Nov. 6, in Charleston. He was the son of LaBarre Wolfe Blackman, formerly of Greenville, and Helen Woolford Haskell of Columbia. He was a ninth grader at Hammond School in Columbia. Lewis was an exuberant and beloved boy, who had many accomplishments and many friends in his short life. He was active in Columbia theater, including Town Theatre, Workshop Theatre, and the South Carolina Shakespeare Company. He was a Duke Grand Scholar and a South Carolina Junior Scholar. He had been a member of the Academic Quiz Bowl, Math Counts team, the band at Hand Middle School in Columbia, and was a writer for the Young Writers' Staff of the South Carolina State newspaper. He was an enthusiastic soccer player, a knowledgeable and witty companion, and a wonderful teenager. He will be sorely missed.
Surviving are his parents; a sister, Eliza Winslow Haskell Blackman of Columbia; maternal grandmother, Helen Woolford Haskell of Macon, Ga.; and paternal grandfather, James Kentchen Blackman of Deerfield Beach, Fla., formerly of Greenville.
