Mr. Curtis Weaver
Many times an individual invests his time, money and effort in another person and tries to remain a silent investor. Such is the case of Curtis Weaver. His known investments in business and unknown investments in people have produced uncompromising dividends. Although he is well-known for some of his timely investments, many more are unknown or the credit for his investments had been transferred to others.
Weaver and Glenda Rogers met while attending Texas Tech. Both were from large, hard working, strong, valued centered, west Texas families. They were married in 1965. Thus began a journey which 56 years later has them call Greenwood their home.
Upon graduation from college, Curtis accepted a position with the Samsonite Corporation in Denver, Colorado, which led to transfers to six different states. He worked with Labor Relations, in Manufacturing and was considered the “turn-around” person to improve performance. Finally, in 1977, Curtis and Glenda, 4th grade daughter, Laurie, and 2nd grade son, Jeff, were transferred to Fort Smith. They determined Greenwood would be their permanent home.
One of his fondest memories of making Greenwood home was taking his son, Jeff, to his first live football game. Walking through the yet to be completed Smith-Robinson Stadium led them to the “old football field” with rock bleachers and a section of metal bleachers filled with Greenwood fans. They were hooked! That one experience led the family to be Bulldog fans for life.
Weaver always had a dream of owning his own company. In 1982, he and Glenda accepted the challenge of starting a small business and committed to being a Bulldog as long as his life cycle would allow. He proved his abilities as an entrepreneur through building and expanding local companies (SEBA and OEI). He always looked for employees who would work, who knew what they could and couldn’t do, and who were willing to learn. One of his greatest joys was coaching a young person on job performance and how to be successful in business. The Weavers successfully operated businesses with the commitment of many devoted employees and heartfelt support of the community.
With a dedication to the community, Curtis served on the Greenwood School Board (1984-1990), the Greenwood Bulldog Foundation Board, a non-profit corporation with a mission to provide small and large capital projects for Greenwood School athletics (1981-present), and numerous other public and private boards. When the decision was made to install artificial turf at the football stadium, Curtis helped establish a committee and an effective plan to raise funds to pay for the project. Follow-up to the artificial turf was the installation of the large video board and the live streaming of all football games which required interfacing with technicians, installers and new technology training. Weaver willingly put in the time and effort to learn what was needed to provide the services to school and community programs and then stepped up to get it done. Walking in step with the administrations of different boards has always been fulfilling and satisfying and giving back has always been a major part of Weaver’s life as a Greenwood resident.
Weaver and his family have worshipped at Northside Church of Christ since moving to Greenwood. Curtis gives much of the credit for his success as an individual to his wife, Glenda, for her support and her determination as a wife, mother and business partner. His impressive business acumen, his leadership skills and ideas, his many contributions to the school and community, and his quality of character make him most deserving of selection to the GEF 2020 Hall of Honor.
