I can't say I agree with all he's done within his career but i think it's interesting to learn about such people who are in the local economy and play a big part in all major business around Greenville

I love this interview by Mr Milliken. It inspires me in quite a few ways, thought I would share on this board.

I remember even while living in New York City, while walking over by Bryant Park I happened to look up and 'bam', there was a Milliken sky-rise right in front of me, instantly reminding me of home and how far reaching Milliken, JD Hollingsworth, and 2 other gentlemen's empires stretched.

They are the fabric of Greenville in a lot of ways.

FYI, Milliken is in Spartanburg, not Greenville, but we do share an economy in the Upstate and he has played a major role in that in our history. Roger Milliken has been an integral part of Spartanburg in many ways.
