Junior Achievement FROM THE PUBLISHER
C
olumbia Metropolitan is pleased to present this special tribute to the South Carolina Business Hall of Fame and Junior Achievement. Every year thousands of school children benefit from the practical instruction about the free enterprise system taught by hundreds of J.A. volunteers. J.A. fills a tremendous need in the education of our children. From learning the basics between “needs” and “wants” (something many adults struggle with, including myself) to the challenges of running a small business, J.A. students receive untold benefits from an interactive and fun curriculum that they never forget. It’s debatable, however, who receives the greater benefit from J.A. – the students or the volunteers. After participating for many years as a J.A. volunteer, I can attest to the personal satisfaction and enjoyment that comes from teaching a class full of energetic kids. The atmosphere is electric, and you never know what kind of answers you will get from your questions. My wife once taught a kindergarten class and asked the following question: “Do you know where money comes from?” The young financial wizards eagerly raised their hands and one answered, “Yes, from my daddy’s wallet!” J.A. introduces children to the business world, and the Business Hall of Fame illustrates the rewards that result from hard work and persistence. The laureates exemplify strong character, discipline and the importance of giving back to the community. We hope you enjoy this special publication honoring the 2011 S.C. Business Hall of Fame award recipients and the great work Junior Achievement is accomplishing with South Carolina’s youth.

lden Brinkley started out making the donuts. It was his first taste of business success. Through the donut shop model, Alden learned about supply and demand and franchise operations. In a year’s time he moved up and learned how money flows in a business through accounting and taxes. Now, after seven years of study, Alden easily discusses world trade and the global economy. Alden isn’t a business tycoon, yet. At 14 years old, however, he is more knowledgeable about business than many adults, thanks to the involvement of Junior Achievement in his schools. Since second grade Alden and his classmates have benefitted from the economic education afforded them from Junior Achievement volunteers teaching in their classes. Now an eighthgrader at Dutch Fork Middle School in Irmo, Alden speaks sagely of business cultures, big ideas and the economic impact of hard work. “The biggest thing I’ve learned from

- Stephanie Stuckey, president, Junior Achievement of Central South Carolina Junior Achievement is success never comes before work,” says Alden. It’s this kind of thinking that made Alden a South Carolina Business Hall of Fame Student Ambassador for Junior Achievement. It’s also exactly the kind of thinking the non-profit organization hopes its programs instill in young people. Entrepreneurship, leadership, work-readiness skills, financial literacy — these are the types of lessons Junior Achievement volunteers bring to students throughout the Midlands and the country every year, according to Stephanie Stuckey. As president of Junior Achievement
of Central South Carolina, Stephanie oversees the operations and outreach which touch the lives of thousands of students in 23 counties. “We connect the classroom to the real world,” says Stephanie. This means volunteers teach students the skills they need for job interviews or help children understand money issues that impact their own families, Stephanie explains. Junior Achievement of Central South Carolina reached 7,552 students in 409 classrooms in 2009–2010, a 15 percent increase from the prior year, according to Stephanie.

Programs range from exploring earning and savings for kindergarten children to philanthropy and personal e n t e r p r i s e f o r h i g h - s ch o o l students. One school in which Junior Achievement has made an impact is Lonnie B. Nelson Elementary and its magnet The Academy for Civic Engagement (ACE) in Richland County School District Two. Here the focused learning enables students to be civically engaged through government, economics and service learning, says Dawn Smith, Lead Teacher at Lonnie B. Nelson Elementary. “JA has been instrumental in bringing business and entrepreneurship skills to the classroom,” says Dawn. “Junior A student at Lonnie B.

Achievement is a great way for business leaders to get involved in schools and promote their field, deepen students’ understanding of the business world and mentor students.” Th e s u c c e s s o f t h e J u n i o r Achievement programs relies on the willingness of trained volunteers, many of whom are local business leaders, to spend time in the classroom and share their experiences. One such business leader is Robin Rawl, vice president of membership and sales at ClubCorp, a business that owns and operates private clubs. Robin has volunteered for 18 years with Junior Achievement in the Midlands and currently serves on the organization’s board of directors. Robin finds immense satisfaction in mentoring students at Heathwood Hall Episcopal School. There she’s worked with fourth-grade teacher Marsi Pulford to impact students year after year. With

minimal time and energy there is a big payoff for all involved, she explains. “It’s great to see the kids’ faces light up when it all comes together,” says Robin. “It creates future leaders for our community.” John W. Hall also knows Junior A ch i e v e m e n t s u c c e s s . “ J u n i o r Achievement has been almost a constant theme throughout my life,” says John, who is both an alumnus of Junior Achievement programs and an organization volunteer. As a tenth-grade student at A.C. Flora High School in Columbia many years ago, John remembers not being engaged in school. He also remembers a fateful morning announcement regarding a meeting for Junior Achievement. It was there he was intrigued by business concepts that lead him on a career path based in the principles of business and economics. John became an economist and went on Students use hands-on tools to learn about city planning in Junior Achievement’s Our City program.

to get his masters degree. He has worked for SCE&G for more than 35 years and currently is manager of strategic planning. Once John established himself in his career he began giving back to Junior Achievement. He spent many years volunteering in the classroom and now serves on the S.C. Business Hall of Fame committee for the organization. His commitment at times has left others scratching their heads. Once John even left the Masters Golf Tournament to teach a Junior Achievement class. Just as the friend he left at the Masters hasn’t forgotten the incident, John can’t forget the power of Junior Achievement on the students. Each year Junior Achievement names individuals to the S.C. Business Hall of Fame. These business leaders are recognized for their positive impact on the state. Members of the elite group include Roger Milliken, Darla Moore and John Swearingen.
JA12 C o lu m b i a M e t ro p o l i ta n
Working with the hall of fame committee, John has met and talked with many of the Laureates throughout the years. These interactions led John to better understand the power of Junior Achievement. “That was when it really struck me what we were doing here,” he says. “That is the track we are putting these kids on. With the right model those kids can catch fire and aspire to become business leaders.” Educating and shaping future business leaders is a critical mission for Junior Achievement, according to Rick Morgan. Fortunately, as the current Junior Achievement board chair, Rick and others are working to build on the organization’s past success. As an employment and labor law attorney at McNair Law Firm, Rick is familiar with the positives and negatives of business as usual. Rick believes children should understand as early as possible the power of a dollar and “how
to take a dollar and make it better for the community.” He knows Junior Achievement brings these lessons home to area students. Rick fondly remembers a 17-year-old who took the knowledge she gained from Junior Achievement and catapulted herself into the role of entrepreneur and started her own cupcake business. He also remembers a distracted young man who tuned into a business ethics lesson Rick gave at a local high school. Rick observed the young man go from uninterested to fully engaged in the course of an hour. After the session, the student thanked Rick for the information he shared. “I told my wife, ‘I think I did something good today,’” said Rick. “For one day, for one hour that day, I touched the life of one kid.” Rick and Junior Achievement know this is a responsibility we all have to share with the next generation.

ntegrity, civic mindedness, vision — each year Junior Achievement recognizes business leaders who embody these traits, and more, and name them to the South Carolina Business Hall of Fame. These individuals are honored for their commitment to free enterprise, for their positive impact on South Carolina and as business role models for young people. Since the inception of the Hall of Fame in 1985 by Junior Achievement and The State newspaper, the distinguished membership has grown to 96 Laureates. In May, Junior Achievement honors three more individuals for their success and contributions: Clay D. Brittain, Jr., Edward Alton Buck, Sr. and John Charles Long (posthumous).

olf and Myrtle Beach –- for some the sport and the South Carolina resort town are synonymous. One of the people responsible for pairing the two with the type of success worthy of a major title is Clay Brittain, Jr. Clay was part of a group of hotel owners who formed Myrtle Beach National in 1971. At that time, too few golf courses and tee times prevented a tourism push to bring golfers to the Grand Strand. With Clay at the lead, the company built and acquired multiple golf courses, including three designed by Arnold Palmer. Myrtle Beach National expanded over the years to include 15 golf courses and accommodations and packages for golfers from around the world. Clay believed if they built it, the golfers would come, but they had to know about it first. So Clay and a number of other golf course owners pooled their resources to promote and

advertise Myrtle Beach Golf. They formed Golf Holiday, and Clay served as the president. At Clay’s 2009 induction into the Myrtle Beach Golf Hall of Fame, Pete Pearce said of his friend and colleague: “Clay was a driving force behind the success of Myrtle Beach National and it would not be the company it is today without his leadership.” Clay’s path to the greens and success wasn’t always an easy one. He was born in Winston-Salem, N.C. in 1929. As a child, he was a paper boy and soda jerk at the local drugstore fountain counter. He took a summer job when he was 15 working for his uncle’s construction crew building the Chesterfield Inn in Myrtle Beach. He found Myrtle Beach and the hospitality industry intriguing. The summer after his first year of college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Clay started a business venture in Myrtle Beach, Clay’s Beach Service. He rented beach umbrellas and chairs to hotel guests and lifeguarded during the day. At night he served as a desk clerk at the Chesterfield Inn. In 1951, Clay contracted polio and was confined to a hospital for four months. He never finished his final year of

college, but he became manager of the Chesterfield Inn at the age of 21. Clay and his uncle purchased the Second Avenue fishing pier in 1953. In 1954, Hurricane Hazel hit Myrtle Beach and destroyed the pier. Undeterred, they swapped what was left of the pier for an oceanfront cottage that they turned into a restaurant. The restaurant was meant to be a temporary venture, but five decades later the Sea Captain’s House still serves some of the best seafood in Myrtle Beach and is still owned by the Brittain family. Life hasn’t been all business for Clay. He also has served on the board of the Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce and the local school board, he was a member of the Coastal Carolina Education Foundation and Epworth Children’s Home in Columbia, and he is credited with establishing the PGA

Eddie welcomes the questions and the opportunity to council others. He shares with them what he’s learned in a career that has spanned more than four decades, the lessons he’s learned as a mortgage banker, entrepreneur and owner of businesses ranging from lumber supply to storage facilities. He talks to them about the value of public service and volunteering. He may even give them advice he received from his own mentors, like Hugh Lane Sr, Bob Royall, Hootie Johnson, and Charlie Way, all of whom are also members of the South Carolina Business Hall of Fame. “Today, it’s a matter of how hard you want to work,” says Eddie. “I tell them if you are willing to work hard and stay focused you should have a very successful career. I council them that it is important to give back to the community.” Eddie knows of what he speaks. When he was young he talked to his father about the path he should take in life. The
m ay 2011
world was changing with credit and banking taking a bigger role, his father told him. Eddie listened. Eddie graduated from East Carolina University with a bachelor’s in business. He served in the Coast Guard. Then he followed his father’s advice and went into mortgage banking. Eddie was a quick study. In six years he moved up the ranks from manager-trainee at Carolina National Mortgage Investment Company to executive vice president of Citizens and Southern National Bank of South Carolina. In 1975, Eddie and his wife Margaret purchased a small lumber supply company on James Island. At the time the company’s annual sales were less than $1 million. By 2006,
When his daughter Susanne was a child, Eddie Buck never missed an event she was participating in. Family always came first. Buck Lumber sales had reached $49 million a year. Over the years, with hard work and focus, Eddie built a diversified portfolio of companies, including Jupiter Holdings, the parent company of Buck Management, Stockade Storage, Sonic Drive-In, Bojangles, Super Suds Carwash, Buck Lumber and Blue Water Convenience Stores. He is responsible for the employment of more than 250 people. This is not a responsibility Eddie takes lightly. He has always valued people and relationships. He’s proud to point out he has employees who have been with him for more than four decades. He’s known for empowering his employees with training and rewarding them with incentives, while making sure they can serve their customers with the latest technology available. Helping build the community and serve others is also part of Eddie’s life philosophy. Eddie has volunteered and chaired boards for more than a dozen organizations, from the MUSC Hollings Cancer Center to the Windwood Farm School for Boys. In the civic arena, he answered the call of four South Carolina governors – Riley, Campbell, Beasley and Hodges – serving on and chairing the State Railroad Commission and the State Ports Authority Commission. He also was elected to a four-year term on the Charleston County Council. Eddie’s fond reflections of his elected service include successful advocacy for the County Parks and EMS systems. “These two achievements positively affected the quality of life for all Charleston County residents,” he maintains. An editorial in the Charleston Post and Courier in 2001 said of Eddie’s involvement in the Ports Authority: “In his two years as chairman of the State Ports Authority, Eddie Buck has achieved commendable progress in making the agency as responsive to the local community as it historically has been to its customers in the shipping industry.” Eddie’s career had its ups and downs. Not every venture was successful. The downturn in the economy in the 1980s
w w w. c o l u m b i a m e t ro . c o m
put a stop to any expansion of Buck Lumber. So he decided to diversify and purchased Kiawah Island General Store. Today, Bluewater Convenience Stores continues to grow, with 13 retail sites and a gasoline distribution service. In the late 80s Eddie also ventured into the self-storage business. Stockade Storage now operates 18 facilities with more than one million square feet of storage space in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Early in his career Eddie married Margaret Brown, one of the first female attorneys practicing in South Carolina. He counts that decision among the best he’s ever made. As a partner, friend and mother, Eddie gives his wife the highest marks. He also has appreciated her legal expertise throughout the years. “She’s kept me out of a lot of trouble,” says Eddie, laughing. While Eddie and Margaret grew their businesses they also grew their family, raising two children, Susanne Buck Cantey and Eddie Buck, Jr. Both children now serve in leadership positions for Jupiter Holdings. Susanne remembers her father always taking an active role in the family. “As a child my father never missed a play, tennis match or any other event I was participating in,” says Susanne. “Family always came first.” Family time also included her father’s favorite activity of sport fishing for marlin on his boat Rookie IV and more than a few intense games of Monopoly. “My father makes everything fun and puts so much love into everything he does,” says Susanne. “If he does something – whether it’s through his work, volunteering or a project – he does it the right way.” Susanne and Eddie, Jr. are among many who see the impact that their father has made on others. He has won awards, citations and honors for his efforts, yet his motivation has little to do with certificates or plaques. “Eddie Buck is a model of an entrepreneur who understands the blending of doing well and doing good,” says former S.C. Gov. James B. Edwards.
John Charles (J.C.) Long Born September 19, 1903 Died July 9, 1984 John Charles (J.C.) Long lived unafraid of taking risks. He built a career on seeing possibility where others saw difficulty. He found solutions when others were stymied by the status-quo. In his career, he argued points of law, built companies and embraced measured change. J.C.’s business prowess and vision literally changed the landscape of South Carolina. J.C. was born in Pensacola, Fla., but moved to Charleston with his family when he was a teenager. His industrious streak shone from a young age. He sold peanuts at ball games, managed a concession stand and worked his first construction

job when he was 16. He sharpened his leadership skills while balancing athletics and academic achievement. He excelled in high school football while attending Charleston High School. While attending the University of South Carolina, he lettered in baseball, basketball and football. According to his family he led the Gamecock football team as captain in 1925. While at USC, J.C. earned a bachelor’s degree and law degree. His loyalty to his alma mater lasted throughout his life, and he later served as a USC trustee. Several years after graduation, he established his own law office in Charleston. He became one of the state’s leading personal injury lawyers and fought the first asbestos case in South Carolina. He was known as a gifted orator, who dramatically argued cases in front of packed courtrooms. While law was his first passion, J.C.’s legacy grew as he branched out into civic leadership and development. He was elected to the S.C. senate from Charleston County at the age of 27. He served one term. He served on the S.C. Highway Commission, was appointed to the Educational Finance Commission at the request of then Gov. James F. Byrnes and was a specially appointed judge in the Court of Common Pleas. The same year J.C. became a legislator, he also established himself as an influential real estate developer. His first project, Ashley Forest, made residential housing available west of the Ashley River, a rarity at the time. With a vision for housing, both residential and vacation, for returning World War II soldiers, J.C. purchased 1,300 acres on the Isle of Palms. He founded the Beach Company to operate the development. He paved roads, built bridges and brought in municipal services, such as water and trash collection, to the sea island. The Beach Company remains a thriving real estate development company, still family held, now led by his grandson John Darby.

“He had an uncanny ability to forecast what people wanted in lifestyles and what communities should provide to meet those needs that would be consistent with the character of local culture and ever mindful of market conditions,” says Charlie Way, who knew J.C. in several capacities including as mentor, boss and father-in-law. When J.C.’s health began failing in the mid-1970s, Charlie became his successor as president of The Beach Company. J.C. became the largest single property owner in all of Charleston County. He built the first high-rise residential building in Charleston, the 14-story Sergeant Jasper Apartments. He followed it up with similar units across South Carolina and others in Georgia, North Carolina and Alabama. In 1963, J.C.’s love of law and real estate intersected at the corner of Broad and Meeting Streets in Charleston, known as the “Four Corners of Law.” In 1963, private investors nearly purchased the Timrod Inn building. This would

J.C. purchased the property with personal funds and sold it to the county at the same price. The courthouse expanded on that site. It’s been said that J.C. understood the basics of the American free enterprise system and mastered them in his lifetime. Beyond real estate, J.C. founded the State Savings and Loan Association, later known as South Carolina Federal, the Old Charleston Insurance Company, the Isle of Palms Water Company and the Worth Company. J.C. and his wife, Alberta Sottile Long, had two daughters, Joyce Carolyn, who married Dr. Charles P. Darby, retired chair of the Pediatric Department of MUSC, and Mary Ellen, who married Charlie Way. He was the proud grandfather of ten. J.C. lived to be 80 years old and his life can be traced through achievements and success in everything from athletics to land development, law to banking. Yet, if he were alive today he likely would talk more about others than himself or his business success. He’d talk about friends, neighbors, associates and family. His daughters say, “Our family was the center of his life, and he gave each of us his unequivocal love, support, unending interest, and wise counsel.”
