OPENING
Barbara and I are delighted to welcome you all to the White
House for this third National Literacy Honors. Today we are
celebrating the extraordinary, ordinary people who are helping us
build a truly literate America, and we are honored to share this
celebration with all of you.
I think about the idea that is America, and the freedom that
inspires that idea -- "the single, shining principle of freedom."
our founding fathers said that "we the people of the United
States" had to "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity." And they knew we could not truly secure these
blessings
that freedom
if we were not a literate people.
Our society needs literate citizens to meet its growing
challenges and make itself healthy and safe. Our economy
requires a more and more literate work force -- not just in the
future, but today, right now. Our children need literate parents
to help them learn and grow as they should. And our democracy
absolutely depends on a literate populace.
Tonight we are honoring Americans who are helping in brave,
creative ways to secure the blessings of liberty to themselves
and their posterity. They have helped by enriching their own
lives and those around them with the knowledge and skills that
lead to literacy. They stand as examples of thousands of others
who are doing the same great service to the idea that is America.
I fervently hope that tonight they will inspire millions more to
join them. And now we're in for a very special evening.

CLOSING
What a wonderful evening this has been ... what amazing
people our country has working for literacy. Barbara and I are
deeply grateful to be able to share this with all of you.
Our eloquent Czech friend, Vaclav Havel, once told us that
democracy is an ideal, and that we Americans are closer to the
ideal because we have been pursuing it without interruption for
200 years. A fully literate society is also an ideal, always to
be earnestly sought. If we believe in the ideal of democracy,
then we have to believe in literacy for all, so that all
Americans can live as well and as freely as possible, now and for
generations to come.
Thank you for all you've done, and for all you will continue
to do. God bless you and this great country of ours, the United
States of America. Good night.

SUBJECT:
COMMENTS ON NATIONAL LITERACY HONORS
Susan: Shortly after reading the drafts, Dan had to leave the
building on business and asked that I send this to you on his
behalf. Thanks so much for sending the drafts over for review.
Dan has just a couple of comments:
Open:
second graph, last sentence: "a literate people" may be
difficult to say; a small verbal glitch could easily be
rendered as "illiterate" people.
Close:
second graph, first sentence: rather than refer to
Havel as "our eloquent Czech friend", perhaps would be
better to say "statesman and scholar".

PROPOSED PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS:
THE NATIONAL LITERACY HONORS
THE EAST ROOM
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1992
4:30 P.M.
Barbara and I are delighted to welcome you all to the East
Room of the White House. Today we celebrate and honor those who
have taken the path to literacy -- and the people who have given
to make that journey possible. Many of you faced great obstacles
to achieve your goals, while others put your own hard-won skills
to use by serving those who needed help. Whatever the route,
you've arrived at the place where your lives are forever changed
for the better -- because of your ability to read and understand
the written word.
By enlarging your literacy skills, you enrich our lives --
as a people and a nation. It was James Madison who said, "A
well-instructed people alone can be permanently a free people."
For the past three years, one of our highest priorities has
been to help every adult American become literate by the year
2000. The urgency increases with each passing year. Our
country's strength, the well-being of our fellowman, and the
realization of the American Dream -- all -- are tied to the
benefits of literacy. Thank you, each and every one, for coming
together to address this critical national issue. I think we're
in for a very special evening.

What a great evening. This has been a wonderful, inspiring
time -- a celebration of the human spirit's power to achieve and
the human heart's desire to make dreams come true. But more than
a testimony to success, this is also a call to all our citizens
who have yet to take that first step toward literacy. As I have
said before, education isn't just about making a living -- it's
about making a life. I hope you draw encouragement from what
you've seen tonight, and join us in the quest for lifelong
learning through literacy. Billy Duvall, who learned to read so
he could teach Sunday School said it best, "your brains aren't
dead until you're dead. //
Tonight's honorees represent thousands upon thousands who
take the time and energy to improve their reading and writing
skills. They are the unsung heroes and heroines -- and America
owes them a debt of gratitude.
Thank you for all you've done. God bless you and this great
country of ours, the United States of America. Goodnight.

Barren County Literacy Program (Laubach)
Glasgow, KY
Growing up in rural Kentucky, Billy Duvall didn't get to school much. For him and the rest of his
large family, crops and farm chores had to come first. Even though he completed the tenth grade,
even though he had been a trucker for several years, when he came to the literacy program in 1988
he could only write his name.
He received a severe back injury in a construction accident, and was unable to resume that kind of
work. Because he had been with the company for several years and was a valued employee, they
offered him a job in the office. It required literacy skills that he didn't have, so he went on disability.
Then he went to the Barren County Literacy Council and began the studies he had been unable to
accomplish as a child. With the aid of his tutor, E. Mahlian Grinstead, Billy has made excellent
progress. Mahlian finds time to tutor Billy twice a week despite the fact that she is a busy attorney as
well as a wife and mother. She says she has benefitted tremendously from the experience, and that
any credit for Billy's progress should go to him.
For Billy, literacy now has become an almost full-time volunteer occupation. "He is a one-man
recruitment campaign," according to Florence Strange, coordinator of the program. "Because he is
such a friendly, kind person, everyone knows him. Either as a student or a volunteer."
Duvall has always been very involved in church activities, but these have expanded in scope since he
learned how to read. He is president of the Brotherhood men's group, superintendent of the Sunday
school, a teacher, a member of the board of trustees, and a singer in the choir.
He also serves on the literacy council board of directors and leads the student support group. He is
proud that his suggested title was used for the student newsletter: "A Better You." At the state level,
Billy is one of two new readers appointed by the Governor to the Kentucky Literacy Commission,
which sets policy for the state. He also serves on the state level new reader committee and represented
Kentucky at the Third National Adult Literacy Congress.
He was named the state's outstanding new reader for 1990. His writing has been included in volumes
one and three of Slices of Life, new reader writings from the state of Kentucky. The first story is
"Growing Up Black" and the second is "My Story."
Billy says, "The program has not only helped me face my challenges but work through them." He
wants to motivate and encourage others to enroll and continue with the program and accepts
graciously the responsibility of being a role model for others.
FRANK X. GORDON, Jr.
Phoenix, AZ
Chief Justice (ret.)
Arizona State Supreme Court
When Frank X. Gordon stepped down after nearly 30 years on the bench, the last five as Chief Justice of
the Arizona Supreme Court, reporters asked what he thought was the most important decision during his
tenure and how he would like to be remembered. Judge Gordon thought about all the momentous
rulings the Court had made. And then he said: "The Court's literacy program is the most important thing
I've ever been involved with. It very possibly will have a more positive impact on the lives of Arizonans
than anything else I have written or done."
Statewide in Arizona, the positive impact has been enormous. Early in his career Judge Gordon
perceived, as many jurists do, the link between poor education and crime. To send young offenders to
jail ran the risk of converting them into hardened criminals. The incidence of functional illiteracy
among repeat offenders was huge, as high as 85 per cent. The scale of the problem seemed hopeless,
until the day that Judge Gordon saw a demonstration of a computer lab designed to improve basic skills.
With the aid of a trained staff, 16 learners could work at improving their skills every hour of the day.
Judge Gordon dedicated himself to creating such learning labs in his state under the aegis of the
Supreme Court, with the goal of at least one lab in each of the 15 counties. The first one was dedicated
in 1987 -- today there are 28 fully-equipped learning labs throughout the state, including the Frank X.
Gordon Literacy Center in Mesa. It was Judge Gordon's leadership that made this possible, not only in
finding the funds in the public and private sectors, but in his personal commitment -- building alliances,
convincing legislators, cutting ribbons, speaking at scores of graduation ceremonies, mingling with
students to encourage and support them. They know he cares.
Judges across the state increasingly took advantage of this attractive opportunity for alternative
sentencing, and probation departments played a key role. The result is that thousands of offenders and
their families now are on the bright path of hope rather than despair.
Critical to success was the enthusiastic support of the State Department of Education, in particular the
Division of Adult Education. This alliance made possible improved software and the use of the 28 labs
by anyone in the community, not only probationers, an expansion that has worked effectively. Now the
program Judge Gordon built will spread to other states. Five Western states are sponsoring a conference
at the Judicial College in Reno next March for just that purpose.
TONY HERNANDEZ
Pasadena, TX
Adult Learner
Sterling Municipal Library (LVA)
Baytown, TX
Born in Laredo 33 years ago, Tony Hernandez bounced from school to school during the years he
moved around with his family as they followed the crops and work. He went through 1st grade three
times, first in an English-language school in the U.S., then in a Mexican school, and then back in the U.S.
Although Tony did well in some grades, this back-and-forth pattern continued until Tony got married
and dropped out in 10th grade.
Tony works as foreman of a maintenance crew at one of the Exxon plants in Baytown. When an
"occupational literacy program" was set up at the plant in 1990, he was one of the first to volunteer as a
new learner. When asked why he entered the literacy program, Tony responds by telling the story of his
oldest son, Tony III. "He was a troublemaker and his grades were going down," Tony says. When Tony
asked his son to do better, the response was "Why?" This occurred just as the program at work was
starting. So Tony offered his son a deal -- that he would go to school if his son would work to improve
his grades. "So far the deal has worked beautifully," Tony says. "His grades have gone up."
It has worked well for Tony, too, He has made excellent progress. He describes being illiterate as being
"in a cage." He feels himself in debt forever to those who liberated him, the Sterling/LVA program and
his tutor, Rick Voyles. "Without Rick," Tony says, "I'd still be in a cage. He showed me the way. He
showed me how to do it."
Just one of the many fascinating elements of Tony's story is that Rick works for him on the maintenance
crew. Rick was one of the first to volunteer as a tutor when the program was set up at the Exxon plant.
Neither he nor Tony knew they would end up being paired together in the program. Tony says: "In the
field, I'm his boss, but once behind closed doors, he was the tutor and I was the student. For me, I've made
a lifelong friend."
Rick gives Tony the credit: "I'm very proud of what he has done. All he needed was an opportunity to
come out and the motivation to do it."
Tony has passed the GED exam. He is now a classroom assistant at the library, "giving back" by helping
other literacy students. He speaks to classes in local schools. "We Hispanics are No. 1 in dropouts," Tony
says. "I want us to be No. 1 on the other side."
REGINA OSTEEN LYNN
Mars Hill, North Carolina
Adult Learner
(National Center for Family Literacy
program at the Walnut School, NC)
In just a few years of courageous effort, Regina Lynn has moved from bleak despair to great
accomplishment and promise for herself and her four young children. She was a 10th grade drop-
out, almost pathologically shy and withdrawn. Today she is a vibrant and confident person, a
"straight-A" student in her third year of college.
Regina came home one day and found a pamphlet in her door that described a new family literacy
program in Madison County, North Carolina. She called the program director and began a journey
toward a better life for her children and herself. After a home visit from the program teachers, Regina
found the support she needed to get on the bus with her three-year-old son, R.L., and go back to
school. She almost dropped out three times, but her mentor and teacher, Mildred Shelton, would not
let her go. Everyone in the program knew that Regina was an unusually intelligent young woman
beneath the layers of childhood disappointment and the scars of a long-term abusive relationship.
Soon the real Regina began to emerge. She became a leader in the group and the friend of all the
members. Encouraged by her GED instructor, Allega Aylward, Regina earned her GED within a year,
with a perfect score in literature. Much taken by a visiting poet's example, Regina now writes poetry
herself. She has kept a journal and has become one who shares and helps others. The effect has been
magical on Regina's four children as well. "Now all my children ask me to help them with their
homework," Regina says, "and I like that. My fifth grader had failed first grade and he was always
behind. This year, in one grade he had a 99 average in reading, a 94 in math, and a 93 average in
spelling."
The driving force in Regina's life at this point is to be a success to repay her father, Derry C. Osteen
of Kingsport, Tennessee. She says, "My father has been a constant supporter and encourager. I finally
feel I'm worthy of the faith and confidence he has always had in me."
Mildred Shelton is a story in her own right. Known locally as "the Mountain Mama," Mildred needed
help herself and then became a teacher and tutor after finishing the program, dedicated to helping
others. Regina credits Mildred with saving her life. The two have remained the closest of friends and
mutual admirers.
MELIA AND HARTLEY PEAVEY
Peavey Electronics Corporation
Meridian, MS
Few country or rock music performers are not aware of equipment manufactured by the Peavey
company -- amplifiers, electric guitars and pianos, microphones, audio recording equipment, and related
products. Peavey products are best-sellers, in the U.S. and around the world.
The initial growth of the company in the post-World War II years was the result of Hartley Peavey's
commitment and drive and his vision of entrepreneurship, industry, and employee relations. The
prototypical science whiz, Hartley began building amplifiers for electric guitars while still in high school.
"If I'd been a better guitar player," he says, "I'd be a musician now. I wasn't good at that. I was always
good at building things."
Hartley serves as chief executive officer and his wife Melia as president of the company. There came a
time when they grew concerned about quality control and productivity. Would the Peavey company go
the way of so many American manufacturers of electronic products losing out to foreign competition,
especially the Japanese?
They identified the basic problem as inadequate educational skills in the workforce in Mississippi. With
Hartley's backing, Melia set about solving the problem, working with state offices, Meridian Community
College, and the National Alliance of Business. The first step was to institute a program adapted from the
U.S. military to improve literacy skills beyond the 5th grade level. Soon a basic skills program up to the
5th grade level was added. Beyond this technical and other training was made available for all employees,
customized to their individual needs.
The results were dramatic. Rejections on some products dropped from as high as 50 per cent to zero.
Customer complaints dwindled. Morale improved, with workers praising the benefits of improved self-
esteem and personal growth in addition to improved skills. Peavey regained its lead and is now second-
to-none.
Now Melia is planning to add a family literacy program, tied in with an employee day care facility.
"Boot-strapping," as Harvey calls the companywide program, has worked wonders. Leaders in training
and education have praised the Peavey accomplishment as one of the most comprehensive, top to bottom
programs in the U.S., one that demonstrates convincingly the value of caring for employees and helping
them to improve themselves. It thus stands as a model to emulate in the drive to keep America
competitive in the world marketplace.
KURT L. SCHMOKE
Mayor of Baltimore
A native of Baltimore, Kurt Schmoke graduated from Yale, was a Rhodes scholar, and
received his law degree from Harvard in 1976. After a successful term as State's Attorney for
Baltimore City, he was elected Mayor in 1987 at the age of 38. In his inaugural address he said: "Of
all the things I might be able to accomplish as Mayor of our city, it would make me proudest, if one
day it could simply be said of Baltimore that, this is the city that reads."
The Mayor has followed through vigorously. Everywhere in Baltimore, one sees the slogan
"Baltimore: The City That Reads" on billboards, on every public bench, on city vehicles (including
garbage trucks). He never misses an opportunity on local radio and television and in public
appearances to stress the importance of literacy and education. Whenever he meets a new person, the
Mayor hands out an attractive bookmark that includes the above quote from his inauguration. He has
done everything possible to provide city support and in building public, private, and community
partnerships to promote literacy and provide services.
The main vehicle is Baltimore Reads, Inc., a private, non-profit organization that helps
establish centers and raises funds in their support. Chaired by Reg Murphy, retired publisher of the
Baltimore Sun, and ably directed by Maggi Gaines, Baltimore Reads is located in a converted
townhouse in downtown Baltimore with an appropriate address (3 East Read Street). There are now
37 literacy centers in the city (up from the six that existed when Mayor Schmoke was inaugurated).
Some 8,500 students now attend the centers, the enrollment growing steadily each year. The goal is to
serve 15,500 students a year by the end of Mayor Schmoke's second term (he was re-elected in
1991).
Especially notable is the Ripken Learning Center, a full-service center created in 1990 as a
result of a $250,000 gift from the Baltimore Orioles' superstar, Cal Ripken, Jr., and his wife Kelly. The
commitment of the Ripkens extends beyond giving money -- they also provide personal time and
leadership, and new funds are forthcoming every time Cal Ripken hits a homerun. The involvement
of the Ripkens was an immediate response to the citywide priority given to literacy and reading by
Mayor Schmoke's leadership.
Mayor Schmoke says that he is most pleased by what the recognition of the National Literacy
Honors will do for morale in his city and for all those who have worked so hard there in the cause of
literacy. For the same reason, he warmly recalls Barbara Bush's visit to the Baltimore program.
Clearly, Mayor Schmoke understands how basic literacy and learning are to the future of his city and
its citizens, and his accomplishments stand as an example to other municipalities across the nation.

literacy skills, you enrich our lives as a people and a nation.
For the past three years, one of our highest priorities has
been to help every adult American become literate by the year
2000. The urgency increases with each passing year. Our
country's strength, the well-being of our fellowman, and the
realization of the American dream -- all -- are tied to the
benefits of literacy. Thank you, each and every one, for coming

Barren County Literacy Program (Laubach)
Glasgow, KY
Growing up in rural Kentucky, Billy Duvall didn't get to school much. For him and the rest of his
large family, crops and farm chores had to come first. Even though he completed the tenth grade,
even though he had been a trucker for several years, when he came to the literacy program in 1988
he could only write his name.
He received a severe back injury in a construction accident, and was unable to resume that kind of
work. Because he had been with the company for several years and was a valued employee, they
offered him a job in the office. It required literacy skills that he didn't have, so he went on disability.
Then he went to the Barren County Literacy Council and began the studies he had been unable to
accomplish as a child. With the aid of his tutor, E. Mahlian Grinstead, Billy has made excellent
progress. Mahlian finds time to tutor Billy twice a week despite the fact that she is a busy attorney as
well as a wife and mother. She says she has benefitted tremendously from the experience, and that
any credit for Billy's progress should go to him.
For Billy, literacy now has become an almost full-time volunteer occupation. "He is a one-man
recruitment campaign," according to Florence Strange, coordinator of the program. "Because he is
such a friendly, kind person, everyone knows him. Either as a student or a volunteer."
Duvall has always been very involved in church activities, but these have expanded in scope since he
learned how to read. He is president of the Brotherhood men's group, superintendent of the Sunday
school, a teacher, a member of the board of trustees, and a singer in the choir.
He also serves on the literacy council board of directors and leads the student support group. He is
proud that his suggested title was used for the student newsletter: "A Better You." At the state level,
Billy is one of two new readers appointed by the Governor to the Kentucky Literacy Commission,
which sets policy for the state. He also serves on the state level new reader committee and represented
Kentucky at the Third National Adult Literacy Congress.
He was named the state's outstanding new reader for 1990. His writing has been included in volumes
one and three of Slices of Life, new reader writings from the state of Kentucky. The first story is
"Growing Up Black" and the second is "My Story."
Billy says, "The program has not only helped me face my challenges but work through them." He
wants to motivate and encourage others to enroll and continue with the program and accepts
graciously the responsibility of being a role model for others.

FRANK X. GORDON, Jr.
Phoenix, AZ
turn the
Chief Justice (ret.)
Arizona State Supreme Court
When Frank X. Gordon stepped down after nearly 30 years on the bench, the last five as Chief Justice of
the Arizona Supreme Court, reporters asked what he thought was the most important decision during his
tenure and how he would like to be remembered. Judge Gordon thought about all the momentous
rulings the Court had made. And then he said: "The Court's literacy program is the most important thing
I've ever been involved with. It very possibly will have a more positive impact on the lives of Arizonans
than anything else I have written or done."
Statewide in Arizona, the positive impact has been enormous. Early in his career Judge Gordon
perceived, as many jurists do, the link between poor education and crime. To send young offenders to
jail ran the risk of converting them into hardened criminals. The incidence of functional illiteracy
among repeat offenders was huge, as high as 85 per cent. The scale of the problem seemed hopeless,
until the day that Judge Gordon saw a demonstration of a computer lab designed to improve basic skills.
With the aid of a trained staff, 16 learners could work at improving their skills every hour of the day.
Judge Gordon dedicated himself to creating such learning labs in his state under the aegis of the
Supreme Court, with the goal of at least one lab in each of the 15 counties. The first one was dedicated
in 1987 -- today there are 28 fully-equipped learning labs throughout the state, including the Frank X.
Gordon Literacy Center in Mesa. It was Judge Gordon's leadership that made this possible, not only in
finding the funds in the public and private sectors, but in his personal commitment -- building alliances,
convincing legislators, cutting ribbons, speaking at scores of graduation ceremonies, mingling with
students to encourage and support them. They know he cares.
Judges across the state increasingly took advantage of this attractive opportunity for alternative
sentencing, and probation departments played a key role. The result is that thousands of offenders and
their families now are on the bright path of hope rather than despair.
Critical to success was the enthusiastic support of the State Department of Education, in particular the
Division of Adult Education. This alliance made possible improved software and the use of the 28 labs
by anyone in the community, not only probationers, an expansion that has worked effectively. Now the
program Judge Gordon built will spread to other states. Five Western states are sponsoring a conference
at the Judicial College in Reno next March for just that purpose.
TONY HERNANDEZ
Pasadena, TX
Adult Learner
Sterling Municipal Library (LVA)
Baytown, TX
Born in Laredo 33 years ago, Tony Hernandez bounced from school to school during the years he
moved around with his family as they followed the crops and work. He went through 1st grade three
times, first in an English-language school in the U.S., then in a Mexican school, and then back in the U.S.
Although Tony did well in some grades, this back-and-forth pattern continued until Tony got married
and dropped out in 10th grade.
Tony works as foreman of a maintenance crew at one of the Exxon plants in Baytown. When an
"occupational literacy program" was set up at the plant in 1990, he was one of the first to volunteer as a
new learner. When asked why he entered the literacy program, Tony responds by telling the story of his
oldest son, Tony III. "He was a troublemaker and his grades were going down," Tony says. When Tony
asked his son to do better, the response was "Why?" This occurred just as the program at work was
starting. So Tony offered his son a deal -- that he would go to school if his son would work to improve
his grades. "So far the deal has worked beautifully," Tony says. "His grades have gone up."
It has worked well for Tony, too, He has made excellent progress. He describes being illiterate as being
"in a cage." He feels himself in debt forever to those who liberated him, the Sterling/LVA program and
his tutor, Rick Voyles. "Without Rick," Tony says, "I'd still be in a cage. He showed me the way. He
showed me how to do it."
[
Just one of the many fascinating elements of Tony's story is that Rick works for him on the maintenance
crew. Rick was one of the first to volunteer as a tutor when the program was set up at the Exxon plant.
Neither he nor Tony knew they would end up being paired together in the program. Tony says: "In the
field, I'm his boss, but once behind closed doors, he was the tutor and I was the student. For me, I've made
a lifelong friend."
Rick gives Tony the credit: "I'm very proud of what he has done. All he needed was an opportunity to
come out and the motivation to do it."
Tony has passed the GED exam. He is now a classroom assistant at the library, "giving back" by helping
other literacy students. He speaks to classes in local schools. "We Hispanics are No. 1 in dropouts," Tony
says. "I want us to be No. 1 on the other side."
REGINA OSTEEN LYNN
Mars Hill, North Carolina
Adult Learner
(National Center for Family Literacy
program at the Walnut School, NC)
In just a few years of courageous effort, Regina Lynn has moved from bleak despair to great
accomplishment and promise for herself and her four young children. She was a 10th grade drop-
out, almost pathologically shy and withdrawn. Today she is a vibrant and confident person, a
"straight-A" student in her third year of college.
Regina came home one day and found a pamphlet in her door that described a new family literacy
program in Madison County, North Carolina. She called the program director and began a journey
toward a better life for her children and herself. After a home visit from the program teachers, Regina
found the support she needed to get on the bus with her three-year-old son, R.L., and go back to
school. She almost dropped out three times, but her mentor and teacher, Mildred Shelton, would not
let her go. Everyone in the program knew that Regina was an unusually intelligent young woman
beneath the layers of childhood disappointment and the scars of a long-term abusive relationship.
Soon the real Regina began to emerge. She became a leader in the group and the friend of all the
members. Encouraged by her GED instructor, Allega Aylward, Regina earned her GED within a year,
with a perfect score in literature. Much taken by a visiting poet's example, Regina now writes poetry
herself. She has kept a journal and has become one who shares and helps others. The effect has been
magical on Regina's four children as well. "Now all my children ask me to help them with their
homework," Regina says, "and I like that. My fifth grader had failed first grade and he was always
behind. This year, in one grade he had a 99 average in reading, a 94 in math, and a 93 average in
spelling."
The driving force in Regina's life at this point is to be a success to repay her father, Derry C. Osteen
of Kingsport, Tennessee. She says, "My father has been a constant supporter and encourager. I finally
feel I'm worthy of the faith and confidence he has always had in me."
Mildred Shelton is a story in her own right. Known locally as "the Mountain Mama," Mildred needed
help herself and then became a teacher and tutor after finishing the program, dedicated to helping
others. Regina credits Mildred with saving her life. The two have remained the closest of friends and
mutual admirers.

MELIA AND HARTLEY PEAVEY
Peavey Electronics Corporation
Meridian, MS
sing
Few country or rock music performers are not aware of equipment manufactured by the Peavey
company -- amplifiers, electric guitars and pianos, microphones, audio recording equipment, and related
products. Peavey products are best-sellers, in the U.S. and around the world.
The initial growth of the company in the post-World War II years was the result of Hartley Peavey's
commitment and drive and his vision of entrepreneurship, industry, and employee relations. The
prototypical science whiz, Hartley began building amplifiers for electric guitars while still in high school.
"If I'd been a better guitar player," he says, "I'd be a musician now. I wasn't good at that. I was always
good at building things."
Hartley serves as chief executive officer and his wife Melia as president of the company. There came a
time when they grew concerned about quality control and productivity. Would the Peavey company go
the way of so many American manufacturers of electronic products -- losing out to foreign competition,
especially the Japanese?
They identified the basic problem as inadequate educational skills in the workforce in Mississippi. With
Hartley's backing, Melia set about solving the problem, working with state offices, Meridian Community
College, and the National Alliance of Business. The first step was to institute a program adapted from the
U.S. military to improve literacy skills beyond the 5th grade level. Soon a basic skills program up to the
5th grade level was added. Beyond this technical and other training was made available for all employees,
customized to their individual needs.
The results were dramatic. Rejections on some products dropped from as high as 50 per cent to zero.
Customer complaints dwindled. Morale improved, with workers praising the benefits of improved self-
esteem and personal growth in addition to improved skills. Peavey regained its lead and is now second-
