Woodruff Electric Announces the Glynn and Mildred Carpenter Scholarship Program Glynn Carpenter was manager/CEO of Woodruff Electric Cooperative for 34 years. He and his wife, Mildred, both came from humble beginnings in Ashley County. Mr. Carpenter worked in the electric cooperative system for 53 years, retiring in 2003. Both Glynn and Mildred were strong advocates of higher education.
