My father, Glen Gillis, was in charge of constructing a warehouse about 1960 near Garner that was used to store federal surplus property. He soon worked for the NC Department of Education and was involved in distributing surplus properties to fledgling community colleges. I traveled with him during summer months while he made his rounds, one being Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte.
FWIW when I got hired at Wake Forest, I got to go to the university's surplus warehouse to pick out anything I needed for my office and I scored a pretty nice chair and file cabinet, but also found out it's the place where they keep the big Moravian star that sits on top of Baptist Hospital during the holidays.
