A Christmas Message in Miller Park 2014-12-27 - Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Larry Smith, Operations Manger, Shoreline Communications, FM 92.7 and FM 99.9.. One of the wonderful Christmas Lights of 2014 scenes is this one by Larry Smith, from Miller Park on the north side of Campbellsville, KY. "Miller Park is a wonderful place," Larry Smith said, "it's a reminder of one of South Central Kentucky's great leaders, Mayor Robert Miller," he said. "He was the towering figure of Taylor County in the 20th Century, and his impact went far beyond Campbellsville. For instance, there's a Robert Miller Drive, named in his honor, at the entrance to Lindsey Wilson's Sports Park." Smith noted too, that Miller's wife, Berniece (Chapman) Miller (d. 2000) grew up on Jamestown Hill in Columbia. His life is a reminder that often, despite historic and progressive administratives, a fickle electorate spurns its greatest. "Mayor Miller just happened to be in office when Fruit of the Loom pulled up stakes and turned its back on us. Mayor Miller did as much as anyone to keep them here, but he lost for the first time in the next election." - CM. See also: Robert L. Miller, Taylor Co., KY (1927-2011) Permalink | Comments?
