RECOGNIZING AND THANKING MR. LAWRENCE B. (LARRY) MILLER OF ANDERSON COUNTY FOR HIS OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND WELL-BEING OF HIS COMMUNITY.
Whereas, Mr. Lawrence B. (Larry) Miller of Anderson County was born in Halstead, Kansas and graduated from Purdue University in 1950 with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering; and
Whereas, his unique education of apprenticeship with General Electric, combined with his degree from Purdue, gave him valuable insight into the workings of the "real world"; and
Whereas, after more than thirty years of employment with General Electric, he had the courage to go out on his own in the tool and dye business for seven years; and
Whereas, foreseeing the recession of the 1980's he successfully sold his company and joined Bosch; and
Whereas, his primary achievement with Bosch was the site selection and start-up of the Anderson Facility. To date, his efforts have brought over six hundred jobs to Anderson County and two other joint venture companies, AUTECS and AFCO, and, with his guidance and assistance, all three operations have been extremely successful; and
Whereas, in the community, his personal efforts were chiefly directed toward continued county development and the success of Tri County Tec in education for the needs of the county for the future; and
Whereas, he was chosen as 1989 Ambassador for Economic Development in Anderson County; and
Whereas, he was appointed by Governor Campbell to the Anderson County Workforce Excellence Initiative Business Roundtable for 1989, 1990, and 1991; and
Whereas, he has served on both the foundation board and the governing board of Tri County Tec. His greatest contribution to Tri County Tec was the introduction of perpetually endowed scholarships. A total of nine hundred thousand dollars in thirty-seven scholarships will be sustained from this point forward. Twenty-year growth of these funds will yield seventy scholarships a year; and
Whereas, he retired from Bosch at the beginning of 1991 but has been retained as a consultant and will continue to be active on Bosch's behalf as well as the community's; and
Whereas, he is an outstanding businessman who is clearly devoted to the economic success of his community and who has helped tremendously to foster growth by his tireless efforts and many contributions of time, talent, and energy; and
Whereas, his efforts are highly deserving of recognition and an expression of deepest gratitude. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognizes and thanks Mr. Lawrence B. (Larry) Miller of Anderson County for his outstanding contributions to the economic development and well-being of his community.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mr. Miller and to Mr. Rusty Burns, Anderson County Planning and Development Board, 126 North McDuffie Street, Anderson, South Carolina 29621.
