"The Still Hog Theory" captures the life and times of Ray Miller
who grew up in the rural South. He was born at the end of the Great
Depression and the start of World War II. His vivid memory of
events of early childhood allows him to portray what these events
meant to real people. He tells of the many adventures of growing up
far removed from modern conveniences. His childhood was spent
around a mill complex consisting of a corn mill, cotton gin, lumber
mill and country store. He shares the many hilarious events that
accompanied these years. He was an avid swimmer but never owned a
swim suit until he joined the Army. He was a good student in a
two-room country school and shares the adventures of the many
characters who attended. He later attended a consolidated county
high school where he played in the band that could have been the
inspiration for the "Music Man." The ones who could think did use
the "think method." He shares the strategy of running for and being
elected Student Body President. He attended college at Georgia Tech
and for the first time in his life had the feelings and emotions of
one being in a situation completely over one's head. He was an
average college student but received the education he needed
working a part-time job in the data processing department at
Georgia Tech. He was graduated from Georgia Tech in 1961. He
entered the computer field as a salesman for a large manufacturer
and writes of the rapid growth and changes in that industry. He
recounts the history of his family which has been in this country
since 1622. His family has been in his home county for almost 200
years and the adventures of his extended family are captured in his
many stories. The lasttwenty five years of his career he served as
President/CEO of a data processing company. He attributes the
success of the company to the lessons he learned from watching
three hogs during "slopping" time. "The Still Hog Theory" is a
lesson of the satisfaction and success that can be enjoyed by
keeping it simple.
