Brother Ernest F. "Fritz" Hollings served over 38 years in the US Senate representing the State of South Carolina until his retirement in 2005. During that tenure, he served as the state's junior senator alongside Brother Strom Thurmond. The pair are the longest serving team of senators ever and Brother Thurmond's longevity gave Brother Hollings the somewhat dubious distinction of being the legislative body's most senior junior senator.
Born on January 1, 1922, Brother Hollings is today celebrating his 90th birthday.
