Whereas, Lincoln Privette, Sr. was born on February 22, 1942. In his younger years prior to college, he helped his father run a successful dairy farm in Darlington, South Carolina. He graduated from St. John's High School in Darlington and went on to receive a Bachelor of Science from Lander University. He is married to Betty M. Privette; and

Whereas, Lincoln taught school for a few years prior to beginning his career in the home building industry; and

Whereas, throughout his home building career, Lincoln built over two thousand homes; and

Whereas, Lincoln was very active in the National Association of Home Builders and served as president of the Home Builders Association of the Greater Pee Dee and the Home Builders Association of South Carolina. He was inducted into the South Carolina Home Builders Hall of Fame in 2002. Lincoln is currently the alternate delegate for the National Association of Home Builders Build-PAC Board of Directors and a National Senior Life Director; and
