Howard Hollis Callaway (April 2, 1927[2] – March 15, 2014) was an American businessman and politician.[3][4] He served as a Republican member for the 3rd district of Georgia of the United States House of Representatives.[2] He also served as the 11th United States Secretary of the Army.[1][5]
Life and career
Callaway was born in LaGrange, Georgia,[2] the son of Virginia Hollis and Cason Callaway,[1] and the grandson of Fuller Earle Callaway. Callaway attended Episcopal High School, graduating in 1944.[2] Callaway then attended Georgia Tech and the United States Military Academy, where he earned a degree in military engineering in 1949.[1][2] He served in the United States Army during the Korean War. He was discharged in 1953 and returned to Georgia to help his parents develop and run Callaway Gardens.[1]
Callaway served as a Democratic member, but switched to the Republican Party.[1] In 1965, he was elected to represent the Georgia's 3rd congressional district in the United States House of Representatives.[2] Callaway succeeded Tic Forrester. In 1967, he was succeeded by Jack Brinkley.
Callaway resided in Colorado in the 1970s.[1] In 1973, he was appointed by Richard Nixon to serve as the 11th United States Secretary of the Army.[1] He served under Nixon and Gerald Ford and was succeeded by Norman R. Augustine in 1975.
Callaway served as Ford's campaign manager,[6] but resigned following accusations that he had used undue political influence to ensure the expansion of a ski resort;[6] he was replaced by Rogers Morton.[7]
In 1980, Callaway was a candidate for the United States Senate to represent Colorado.[2] After that, he served as the chairperson of the Colorado Republican Party until 1987.[2]
Callaway died in March 2014 from complications of intracerebral hemorrhage in Columbus, Georgia, at the age of 86.[1]
