BRACK: Returning to church where we worshiped years ago

By Elliott Brack  |  A former church where we were members in South Georgia was having the 100th anniversary of its founding.  They were using the second Sunday of each month to invite back former members to remember how it was when they were there. And afterward there would be a meal with members.

Today’s issue of GwinnettForum marks the beginning of our 18th year in business.

I retired from the Atlanta newspapers on April 1, and opened the next day an office in a friend’s extra space in Business Park in Norcross. A couple of years later, we moved offices to the former headquarters of Technology Park/Atlanta, then in unincorporated Norcross and now in Peachtree Corners. We’ve been here for 15 years.
