I knew Roger Milliken was rich, powerful and conservative, but I had no idea he played such a pivotable roll.

I worked for Roger once......he threw a hell of a Christmas Party. He owned a tour bus and he'd take a few of us with him to tour the plants in SC and Northeast GA. That dude liked to soak up some whiskey.

I worked near Spartanburg and heard a lot of stories about him.

I had heard and read about his political ties but we rarely discussed it. Being a veteran he may have assumed my party affiliation (my voting record might have surprised him) and never brought it up. My work involved the plant in Williamston.
