A record number of nearly 350 were in attendance at the 2016 Stroud Chamber of Commerce Banquet held at the Stroud Route 66 Coliseum. The theme for the membership and awards banquet was, “Stroud – Ready, Set, Grow!”

The “Lifetime Achievement Award” was presented to Bonnie Miller. Making the presentation were Sylvia Witty and Steve Witty, wife and son of Charles witty, who last year received the award posthumously.

Bonnie Miller was honored for her longtime service to the community through serving as a trustee of the Stroud Hospital and Development Authority and by “continually growing the Stroud economy” through her family’s business, Miller Truck Lines.

Mrs. Miller was born in Okemah and attended school in Okemah and Slick. She and her husband James and sons, Jimmy, Donald, and Bobby, have operated the Miller Truck Lines terminal since 1969. It was noted that Mrs. Miller was among “the dedicated and determined people” who got the local hospital rebuilt and reopened after it was extensively damaged in the May 1999 tornado.
