ADDISON AWARDED THE ORDER OF THE SILVER CRESCENT
Florence, SC – Brigadier General (ret.) Louis Addison has been awarded the Order of the Silver Crescent, South Carolina’s highest award for volunteerism and community service, at a ceremony held on January 17, 2008 at Osborne’s in Florence, SC. The award was presented by Colonel (ret.) Gene Riley.
General Addison has worked as a volunteer for countless organizations that enrich the community. He has served on the Board of Directors for SC Telco Federal Credit Union since 1988 and as Chairman of the Board from 1993 to 2007. General Addison became involved in the affairs of credit unions statewide through the South Carolina Credit Union League as part of his SC Telco leadership responsibility. He has also served as a board member for the Florence Chamber of Commerce, Pee Dee Regional Council on Child Abuse and Neglect, Kiwanis Club of Florence, Florence Disabilities and Special Needs Board, and House of Hope of The Pee Dee. Additionally, he became a Certified Lay Speaker in the United Methodist Church and has served for over 10 years as a conference committee member. Education is another of General Addison’s contributions to our state, serving as an Adjunct Professor of Business with Southern Wesleyan University for several years in their LEAP Program.
Steve Harkins, President/CEO of SC Telco Federal Credit Union said, “Lou Addison has spent most of his adult life working to improve the lives of those around him. I can think of no one more deserving than Lou of this honor. He has served as a board member for many organizations, like SC Telco. Lou was a strong advocate for the organizations he believed in and volunteered thousands of hours to help others. His natural leadership ability was easily recognized by his peers and he became the chairman of the board for several organizations including ours. I can honestly say that our credit union would not have enjoyed nearly the success we have had without his leadership, vision and passion for credit unions. We congratulate Lou on this award."
General Addison’s military career spanned 37 years of active duty and Army Guard service. He is a Korean War veteran, having served with the U.S. Air Force 8th Fighter Bomber Wing in Suwon, Korea. After his active duty, he joined the South Carolina Army National Guard and rose through the ranks from 2nd Lieutenant to becoming one of the highest ranking officers in the state guard. He received many decorations and commendations during his distinguished career.
General Addison was born on May 11, 1932 in Tarpon Springs, Florida and attended the University of South Carolina at Florence and earned an associate of science degree from Mercer College. He resides in Florence with his wife, the former Janie Eddings of Cheraw, SC. They have four children: Louis, Jr; Teresa, David and Linda.
