  1. I remember when Gary had Hondo on my place. Dekalb Co had their dog here to compete with ours in a training session. To the trainers the dogs are about like a family member, but they are more obedient than our children so to speak.
  2. Elect Trump as our next president, and he will make change that will make America great again. Our government needs to have a CEO that can run our government on a business basis and save our country from total financial collapse. He will stop all this give money and human support to so many countries. This is a matter of self preservation. We will be unable to stop ISIS in other countries. We will be able to stop them here in the USA with a man like Trump as President. We cannot continue to fight other country's wars. Our human resources are too valuable to disable them and then not care for t
  3. We have known the Parker family for years including his dad who used to walk everywhere he went in Dallas. Joe was a chip off the old block so to speak. If you ever needed to find out anything from the past in Paulding, Joe would help you find it. The new era will never be the same. Best regards to the family Dr John and Glenda Covington

  5. It seems as though you folks know nothing about growing okra. There is no way that okra that large could have been grown outside this year. In fact okra planted this year is just now coming up. That's my two cents Pubby.

  11. I respectably claim Vernell as one of my dearest and longest friends in Paulding County. She was one of the first people that I met when I came to Paulding Co for an interview to come to join two other Doctors. She gave me a tour of the new hospital and introduced me to some of the personnel. She was very professional and a down to earth type person, and I can truly say that she helped influence me to come and stay in this county. We spent many years working together making patient visits, delivering babies,assisting in surgery, and seeing patients in the emergency room.If I needed to know who

  16. I HAVE KNOWN GLEN FOR ABOUT FIFTY YEARS, AND I AM PROUD TO COUNT HIM AS ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS. I KNEW HIM AS A MEMBER OF THE HOSPITAL AUTHORITY, AND I KNEW HIM AS A BUILDER. HE BUILT MY HOME IN DALLAS AS WELL AS THE HOMES OF DR BRALY AND DR WORTHY. YOU COULD DEPEND ON HIM TO DO THE JOB RIGHT. HE WAS A CHRISTIAN GENTLEMAN VERY ACTIVE IN THE SMYRNA METHODIST CHURCH AND MEN'S CLUB. I CAN ATTEST TO HIS HONESTY BY TELLING OF AN INCIDENT WHILE HE WAS BUILDING MY HOUSE. HE SUBMITTED A BILL EVERY SO OFTEN FOR THE WORK COMPLETED. ON ONE OCCASION HE HAD MADE AN ENTRY TWICE FOR THE SAME MATERIALS. HE FO
