BRACK: Gwinnett’s pride shows through its modern fire department

By Elliott Brack  |  A South Georgia native and attorney, John Mattox, was a good friend of mine. We keep remembering his idea about how any community looked upon itself.  John thought anyone could tell a good deal about any town’s pride by the way it took  care of two elements in that town: its cemeteries and its courthouse.  If you saw either of these run down, the community didn’t take much pride in itself.
