William Ralph Holliman, Part VIII
by Glenn N. Holliman
The years slipped by for Ralph and Motie. From a clerk at American Bakeries in Birmingham, Alabama, he climbed the corporate ladder to office manager and plant manager, regional, divisional and finally national vice president of operations in Chicago. At one time the company had sixty-two plants and 10,000 employees. Those were busy years, but he never lost his Alabama roots.
Right, in 1965 at the Robert and Vena Daly home in Irondale, Alabama, five of the six surviving siblings of Ulyss and Pearl Caine Holliman gathered for a group picture. Left to right are Euhal, Vena Daly, Bishop, Loudelle Ferrell and Ralph. Notice the three men are in suits and ties.
In 1978 Vena, Ralph, Virginia and Bishop took time to gather in Birmingham.
In 1984, Motie, Ralph, Mary Daly Herrin and Bishop Holliman met in Irondale, Alabama, Mary's home.
