BRACK: Watch out: Live alligators could be roaming Gwinnett’s waters

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | It was on a Wednesday about 5:30 p.m. back about 1967, when putting together the front page of the weekly Wayne County Press in Jesup. A phone call from the county health director, Dr. Dan Glover, was urgent.

“We’ve got a real problem we just realized, and we want you to put this story on the front page for tomorrow’s newspaper,” he pleaded with me. (That would consist of tearing up what we had laid out previously on the front page, just near the deadline time, not a good time for re-doing this page. I was skeptical.)
