A Veterans Day Conversation with Cliff Hendrix and Charlie Farrell
As we commemorate Veterans Day, Mt. Hebron is honored to welcome Cliff and Charlie as they share their experiences and reflections of their military service, leadership and a lifetime of service to others.
Cliff Hendrix (nephew of J.W. Hendrix)
A native of Ridgeway, South Carolina, Cliff “Hobo” Hendrix is a graduate of Brookland-Cayce High School and The University of South Carolina. His strong work ethic began at just 10 years old when he started working at his family's business–Hendrix Red & White. He later worked for South Carolina Electric & Gas (SCE&G) while attending USC part-time.
Cliff began his military career by enlisting in the South Carolina Air National Guard as an air traffic controller. He later earned his commission as an officer and completed U.S. Air Force pilot training, becoming an F-16 fighter pilot. In 1990, he deployed to Saudi Arabia in support of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, flying 35 combat missions into Iraq during the Gulf War.
Following his military service, Cliff joined Delta Air Lines in 1997 where he spent 28 years as a commercial airline pilot before retiring in 2025.
Cliff and his wife, Lauren, are now settling into a new chapter of life on their homestead in St. Matthews.
Charlie Farrell
A graduate of A.C. Flora High School, Charlie attended The University of South Carolina, where he played basketball under legendary coach Frank McGuire. He went on to serve his country as a fighter pilot in both the United States Marine Corps and the South Carolina Air National Guard.
Throughout his distinguished career, Charlie held several leadership positions including Director of Executive Education at The Darla Moore School of Business at USC, Director of the South Carolina Aerospace Task Force and Executive Coordinator for the Military Base Task Force.
An accomplished author, Charlie has written three books: Courage to Lead which explores the principles of effective leadership; Keep Your Wallet Open and Your Mouth Shut–a humorous guide to surviving a daughter's wedding; and Paschon and the Art of Dying–a mystery novel.
In recognition of his contributions to education, leadership and public service, Charlie was inducted into the Richland County School District One Hall of Fame and awarded the Order of the Palmetto by Governor Henry McMaster—South Carolina's highest civilian honor.
