FOCUS: Baughman remembers former newswoman Pat Johnson

By Bill Baughman | Patsy Jane “Pat” Livingston Johnson, age 89, of Bushnell, Fla., and formerly of Lawrenceville and Gainesville, Ga., passed away peacefully in her sleep on Sunday morning, Aug. 9, 2015.

The preceding was in an obituary I found in the newspaper. I wonder how many local folks remember this person who had lived and worked in Gwinnett for many years. I had to do a double take to see if this was the person I knew. Was it the journalist I remembered fondly who worked at the Gwinnett Daily News? Sadly, it was.

FOCUS: Help celebrate 25th year of “Farm Friends” at Gwinnett County Fair

By Sharon Cassidy | In 1991, two 4-H Program Assistants, Audrey Hardin and I, decided Gwinnett 4-H had served enough funnel cakes at the Gwinnett County Fair. We wanted to educate youth and adults about “farm” animals and where and what products come from the farm.

We went to the county extension agent, Bill Baughman, and asked to start the “Gwinnett 4-H Petting Zoo.”
