ANOTHER VIEW: Review of Gwinnett: A Little Above Atlanta 

By Rick Krause |  Yes, it’s a history, but a lot of that is storytelling, which I found so fascinating. One might not think that this could possibly be a “page-turner” like a who-done-it murder mystery, but I found myself following along with the telling of the history eager to read on. often I flipped pages to see what might be ahead.

FOCUS: Remembering saving over 4,432 acres on the Altamaha River

By Rick Krause | It’s been a little more than 15 years ago that, when in February 2008, my wife, Sandy,  and I were fortunate to have participated in a celebration of The Nature Conservancy’s (TNC) purchase and saving of a tract of land along the Altamaha River near Baxley, called Moody Forest.

Manana Island off the coast east of Oahu

FOCUS: Here’s what one couple saw on a visit to our 50th state — Hawaii!

By Sandy and Rick Krause, Lilburn, Ga. | My wife and I recently visited in Hawaii. We never had a goal to see all 50 states, but this trip accomplished that!

We toured the four main islands—Oahu, Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii, starting in Honolulu, Oahu. We stayed a block off Waikiki Beach and enjoyed walking around downtown and the beach.

Among the places we visited was the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument at Pearl Harbor. We took a Navy launch to the USS Arizona Memorial, watched a film, and visited the museum. It was most touching. We also toured the National Cemetery of the Pacific, State Capital, Chinatown, and Iolani Palace.
