Over several decades, the people of our Chattanooga community and our nation have been excellently served in many constructive ways by members of the Brock family. So now it is highly appropriate that three members of the Brock family will be honored Wednesday by the Chattanooga History Center.
Brock brothers Bill, Pat and Frank will be honorees at the presentation Wednesday of the fifth annual History Makers Award at The Chattanoogan.
Bill Brock was an outstanding member of the United States House of Representatives, then was elected to the U.S. Senate, and later served as a member of President Ronald Reagan’s Cabinet.
Pat Brock, who ran Bill’s first campaign for the House, was a most constructive member of our Chattanooga business and civic community, serving as president and chief executive officer of the family Brock Candy Co., which was purchased in 1994 by the E.J. Brach Corp.
Frank Brock was president of our fine Covenant College on Lookout Mountain, and currently is president of the Covenant College Foundation. He has been active in many civic causes. Before leading Covenant College, he also was a leader in the Brock Candy Co.
