Ginn is retiring from Suwanee medical school

By Elliott Brack
Editor and Publisher, GwinnettForum
AUG. 30, 2024 | Bryan Ginn of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) has retired as of today as the chief campus officer of the Suwanee medical school, and its sister campus in Moultrie. After his tenure of 12 years, he had seen significant accomplishments during that time. He has also been the face of PCOM in Georgia, and spent lots of time working for medical education at the State Capitol.
Ginn is retiring to his home in Evans, near Augusta, though he admits to anticipating being often at his place on Lake Oconee.
He looks upon the past 12 years, recognizing the college has “gone so far.” When the Philadelphia-based non-profit (since 1899) started its Suwanee campus in 2005 to provide more doctors in the South, it only offered the degree of Doctor of Osteopathy, initially with 100 students. But the Georgia campus has continued to grow quickly, adding programs for doctor of pharmacy; master’s in physician’s assistant; doctor in physical therapy; master’s in bio-medicine; a master’s in biomedical sciences; and a master’s in laboratory science.
Today there are over 1,200 students at the Suwanee campus, and another 250 at the South Georgia campus in Moultrie.
While the college has made significant strides since it was established in Gwinnett in 2005, Ginn anticipates: “I think it will do more, since we are going in the right direction.” He anticipates possible future needs at the college level in Georgia for psychological health, optometry, anesthesiology, audiology and allied health. “It’s a matter of getting the right folks in place. But for instance, there is no optometry school in Georgia. We may some day fill such voids.”
There is a continued need for more doctors, especially in the South. And there is the yearning of college graduates to become part of the medical world. Ginn points out: “We got 5,300 applications for the 135 medical slots, and 1,600 applications for the 34 physician’s assistant’s program. People want to get in the medical field, and it’s tough and very competitive. But that also means those who get in are top students.”
Ginn grew up in a political family. He was born in Virginia when his father was chief of staff for Congressman Elliott Hagan, and later for Sen. Herman Talmadge. Then his father, Ronald Bryan “Bo” Ginn, was himself a congressman for 10 years until 1983. Following that, his father ran for governor, coming out on top in the primary in 1982, but losing in a run-off against Joe Frank Harris in a close race.
Bryan Ginn graduated from Georgia Southern, where several members of his family graduated, and met his wife, Caroline, in Statesboro. He was a staff member for two Congressmen, headed Georgia Southern’s annual giving, and was Kennesaw State’s director of governmental relations. Before being recruited to PCOM, Ginn was the Medical College of Georgia’ s vice president for external and government relations, and advancement.
Looking toward the future, Bryan sees he will have plenty to do in retirement at home. “My wife, Caroline, a Boston, Ga. native, and I have just observed our 35th anniversary. She has two businesses, a boutique and an interior design firm. For sure, I will spend more time with our two children and three grandchildren, who also live nearby in Evans.”
Bryan Ginn: We wish you the best in retirement. We know you will keep busy.

Watch out for lying on both sides of the aisle
Editor, the Forum:
There is lying on both sides! It is up to us with common sense to sort through all of the lies. Ask yourself, is that statement against my common sense, logic or morality? You are the decider.
Americans support “We the People” and for decades now the government has forgotten about our concerns. How about letting us know how our money is being spent, what bills really have in them so we can give our input before it’s passed.
Democracy will not stand if at its base is not liberty! The more we as a republic are removed from the equation, the more control Big Government decides what they think is best for the populace.
I would like to recognize one lie that has been driving me crazy; the reduction in the cost of insulin. That was done during the Trump administration, not Biden’s! So let’s put our thinking caps on and sort through the lies on both sides. This country has been bombarded with Marxist ideology to destroy the American family in every way. Once the family is destroyed you will live in a much different America. No more FREEDOM, and that’s what sets us apart from all other nations on earth. I don’t see people flocking to Russia or China because of their values.
– Barbara Warden, Norcross
The Bible says: “…from the North an evil will spread”
Editor, the Forum:
Long ago, thousands of years ago, the Prophet Jeremiah made a prognostication that something was coming but he did not say when. You do not have to run to your Bible, to read it.
Jeremiah said “…from the North an evil will spread out upon all of the inhabitants of the land.” That is found in Jeremiah 1:14.
I think he was talking about 2016. Donald Trump was running for president at the time and he is from the north (New York). He also meets the requirement of being evil.
It is amazing where you find prophesy in the Bible and when it comes to fruition. That could have come about right after Jeremiah wrote it, or a year after, or hundreds of years after, even thousands of years after. But it will come about.
These prophets do not just speak about things that are going to happen tomorrow.
– Raleigh Perry, Buford

4 pop-up recycling events coming in September
Four pop-up recycling events, a new way to recycle, will be coming to Gwinnett.
Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful (GC&B) and the Gwinnett County Department of Solid Waste, are teaming up for something new in September. Inspired by the popularity of pop-up shops, events, and food trucks, the two organizations have scheduled a series of pop-up recycling events. The events will include the collection of glass bottles and jars for recycling and paper for shredding.
These no-cost, rain-or-shine events will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the following dates at the following parks:
- Monday, September 9: Bogan Park Community Recreation Center, 2723 North Bogan Road in Buford;
- Tuesday, September 10: Peachtree Ridge Park, 3170 Suwanee Creek Road in Suwanee;
- Wednesday, September 11: Lucky Shoals Park, 4651 Britt Road in Norcross; and
- Thursday, September 12: Lenora Park, 4500 Lenora Church Road in Snellville.
Schelly Marlatt, executive director of GC&B, says: “After 44 years as Gwinnett County’s leading eco-focused non-profit, we’ve learned that paper is one of those items that tend to pile up in our neighbors’ houses and offices. Our events that incorporate paper shredding are always well-attended, so we know that portions of our new pop-up events will be well-received by attendees. We are also extremely proud that glass recycling has not only returned to Gwinnett County but has also recently been expanded. Thanks to a Recycling and Waste Diversion Grant from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division and our partnership with Ripple Glass, we now have 15 glass recycling drop-off sites throughout the county. Unfortunately, the word still hasn’t gotten out to all our citizens – so these events will prove excellent opportunities for us to increase awareness.”
Attendees are asked to bring their items in disposable containers, as they will not be returned. To learn more about GC&B, and future events, visit www.GwinnettCB.org.

The Fraud, by Zadie Smith
From Karen J. Harris, Stone Mountain: This book contains stories that link together in 19th century England. Eliza Touchet is the Scottish cousin to William Ainsworth, a once famous author. She doesn’t believe her cousin has much talent and is superseded by famous contemporary Charles Dickens. Eliza has many interests including those involving getting justice for the disenfranchised. Andrew Bogle grew up enslaved on a plantation in Jamaica. He knows all there is to know about sugar and also how the rich deceive the poor, and how easy it is to fool people. He finds himself in England as a star witness at the Tichborne trial, which hopes to unmask a butcher from Australia who claims to be the sole heir to an estate and title. The trial captures all classes in London and seeks to unmask an imposter. It paints a colorful picture of the time period and explores the idea of imposter phenomenon.

Charles William Ashworth
Charles William Ashworth, 85, passed away Saturday, August 24, 2024 at home surrounded by his family.
Ashworth
Charles was born January 9, 1939 to Leroy and Mae Jo Ashworth of Dacula, and was the oldest of three sons. He learned early the importance of hard work from the time he spent with his father working on their family farm as well as delivering newspapers by horseback during his youth. As a teenager he would hitchhike to the Button Gwinnett Hotel in Lawrenceville where he worked at the grill and later lived so he could attend Central Gwinnett High School. It was in high school that he met his future wife, Martha Ezzard. They were high school sweethearts and married for 60 years.
Charles and Martha have two daughters, Karen and Julie. His work ethic that started as a child carried throughout his life. From 1956 to 1959 he served in the Air National Guard at Dobbins AFB in Marietta, and while getting his BBA degree in marketing from Georgia State University, he worked at John Jarrell’s men’s clothing store and C and S Bank.
After graduating from college, he was employed by Standard Oil and later owned and operated a consignee location for Texaco. He was also part owner of Northside Office Supply and Southern Office Sales. Charles served as the Gwinnett County Commission chairman from 1981 to 1984. For the last 40 years, he owned Charles Ashworth Real Estate where he worked in commercial real estate and development
Charles was a generous man with a quiet faith. He was a big supporter of the underdog, consistently helping those in need. Though he came from humble means, he always felt he had everything he needed and was at his happiest when he brought joy to others.
He was well-known for his love of a good joke, a harmless prank, and delighted when anyone would make him laugh. Outside of work, Charles cherished spending time with his family and friends. From the early neighborhood gatherings and dinner parties with their lifelong friends in Forest Hills, to golf trips with his buddies in Sapphire Valley, N.C., and numerous beach trips to St. Simons and Sea Island, where he loved to go crabbing and fishing. His life was filled with joyful memories. As his wife, Martha, got into the travel business, they enjoyed traveling to Europe and particularly parts of Italy which became some of Charles’ most beloved and fondest memories.
In his late years, he found great joy spending time with his family and grandchildren in his home in Highlands, N.C., which he built and treasured deeply. He enjoyed reading mysteries, listening to country music, and working with his hands. There was rarely anything he could not build or fix.
As the Parkinson’s Disease began to set in, Charles learned the graceful task of leaning on others for help. Not something that he was used to doing, but he did so with dignity and humor and was forever grateful to his caregivers for their love and support.
Charles is survived by his wife Martha Ezzard Ashworth; two daughters, Karen Lambert of Cumming, and Julie Adams (Chris) of Charlotte, N.C.; and his grandchildren, Jack and Sam Lambert and Emma and Claire Adams; his brothers Gerald Ashworth of Stone Mountain, and Lonnie Ashworth of Winder, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Memorial services will be held at Lawrenceville First United Methodist Church on Friday, August 30 at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, make donations to Lawrenceville First United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 2127, Lawrenceville, Ga. 30046 or the Parkinson’s Foundation, 5757 Waterford District Drive, Suite 310, Miami, Fla. 33126. Arrangements are being handled by Wages and Sons Funeral Home, 1031 Lawrenceville Highway, Lawrenceville.
Georgia’s capitol kept moving in Revolutionary times
At the time of statehood in 1776, Georgia’s revolutionary government operated from Savannah, though no document or election formally designated Savannah as the capital city. Georgia’s first state constitution—that of 1777—directed that the state legislature meet in Savannah, although it also allowed the assembly to meet at other places as it should decide.
Just after Christmas in 1778, Savannah fell to British forces. Georgia’s government fled the city and attempted to reorganize in Augusta, 127 miles to the north. In January 1779 an attempt was made to convene the revolutionary legislature in Augusta, but representatives from only three counties were present, and thus no quorum could be assembled. A temporary governing executive council was named, but it had to flee later that month as the British arrived in Augusta. The council later returned when the British abandoned the city in February.
Finally, in January 1780, a new assembly was convened in Augusta and a resolution was passed designating Heard’s Fort—a site to the northeast in Wilkes County—as the meeting place for the legislature in case of attack. Soon the British recaptured Augusta, and Georgia’s government convened at Heard’s Fort in May 1780. This fortification was located eight miles from the present-day city of Washington. Heard’s Fort disappeared after the American Revolution, and no trace remains of the village.
Little is known about the location of Georgia’s state government over the next year. Likely, it kept on the move in Wilkes County and may even have moved into South Carolina. By April 1781, a new offensive was underway by Continental forces against the British, and Augusta was soon recaptured. An effort was again made to reassemble a state government for Georgia in Augusta, and in August a newly elected legislature was convened. This body elected a new governor and other state officials and proceeded to enact a variety of laws. Augusta served as the capital from August 17, 1781, until May 4, 1782. By this time, the tide of war had changed in favor of the American forces, and by July 1782, the British had evacuated Savannah.
As Georgia state officials prepared to return to Savannah, one other city served temporarily as the unofficial seat of government until the British evacuated. New Ebenezer, a small Salzburger settlement on the Savannah River 25 miles upstream from Savannah, served as the meeting site for Georgia’s House of Assembly on July 3 and 4, 1782. On July 4, the legislature also convened here but adjourned to meet in Savannah. New Ebenezer, once the center of Georgia’s hoped-for silk industry, would later fade from existence, as did Frederica and Heard’s Fort.

Isn’t today’s mystery a gorgeous photograph? Now figure out where and what it is and let us know. Send your idea to ebrack2@gmail.com, including your hometown.’’
The last mystery was recognized by several people, including Stew Ogilvie of Lawrenceville, who told us that it was Titanica, a sculpture by Rowan Gillespie, located in front of Titanic Belfast, a museum located in Belfast, Ireland.” The photograph came from Clair Daniels of Black Mountain, N.C., vis Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
Also recognizing was Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Rick Krause, Lilburn; John Titus, Peachtree Corners; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex., who wrote: “Titanica is a bronze sculpture that depicts a female diver in mid-air. Created by Dublin-born sculptor Rowan Gillespie (1953 – present), it is a life-sized, three-quarter ton bronze sculpture that is mounted on top of a slender base. Intended to represent “hope and positivity”, the sculpture’s shape takes its inspirational design from a female ship figurehead that was traditionally mounted on the prows of large sailing ships. The Titanica sits in front of the Titanic Belfast, a museum and visitor attraction that was built to memorialize Belfast’s maritime heritage that was opened on March 31, 2012, almost 100-years after the tragic night of April 15, 1912 when the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage”.
