Costco to Host Book Signing For Legendary Locals of Greenville

GREENVILLE, S.C. - Jan. 25, 2016 - PRLog -- Costco to Host Book Signing For Legendary Locals of Greenville

Local author, Cindy Landrum, will be available to sign copies of book

Greenville has long been a city of visionaries. Richard Pearis settled on the banks of the Reedy River in Cherokee hunting land where few white men would venture. Max Heller, who escaped Nazi-occupied Austria as a teen, triggered the rebirth of downtown. They are some of Greenville’s local legends who have seen possibilities, not limitations. They come from all walks of life. Textile leaders such as John T. Woodside, Thomas Parker, and John D. Hollingsworth transformed the city into the “Textile Capital of the World.”

When textiles began to fade, businessmen and leaders such as Charles Daniel, Tommy Wyche, Tom Barton, Virginia Uldrick, Dick Riley, Carl Sobocinski, and Xanthene Norris helped transform the city once again. Stories of people who have shaped Greenville with their vision, making it what it is today, fill these pages.

Highlights of Legendary Locals of Greenville include:

• The airplane which is part of the Major Rudolf Anderson memorial in Greenville’s Cleveland Park is not the same model as the plane he was piloting when he became the only casualty of the Cuban Mission Crisis.
• Greenville Symphony Orchestra Conductor Edvard Tchivzhel had to outrun the KGB when he defected from the U.S.S.R.
• Pete Hollis brought basketball to South Carolina.
