BRACK: Response from readers make publishing GwinnettForum worthwhile
By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Sometimes I wonder why I continue to publish GwinnettForum. I’ve said before that at least it extends my life through this participation with the wider community. Thank you for allowing me to do this, and from responding from time to time.
Every now and then, I get a noteworthy comment comes from a reader, and it makes me proud to publish these thoughts and ideas, so that you, the other readers, can benefit from their viewpoints.
Gwinnett Forum | May 3, 2024
“Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for.”
— Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Earl Warren (1891-1974).
