JERRY MILLER (1932-)

Born in Sanford NC, the 11th of 12 children.  He attended Elon College then was drafted and sent to Germany, where he served in the 14th Armored Cavalry. He returned to NC in 1955 and graduated from NC State’s School of Design.  After graduation, Miller began his own architecture firm, Jerry Miller Associates, which became the largest home designer in the Carolinas. He built a split-level house in the new Greenwood Forest community for his growing family, with two daughters, Julie and Jill.  When a recession hit in the 1980's he turned to art, creating drawings of buildings across the state.  He is one of the founders of the Cary Lazy Daze festival.
