BRACK: Many of us are so fortunate at seeing so much of the world

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher  |  Those of us born during the Depression and those born soon after World War II have really been lucky. They probably have seen more of the world than any other generation of people.

It’s been possible because of automobiles and ships and more leisure time, but mostly because of the jet airplane.

Americans are a traveling citizenry. Remember when you were growing up?  Can you ever have imagined that you would have traveled so extensively?

BRACK: Find the fun by moving outside your own boundaries

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher  |  All too often we find it difficult for most of us to bust through our own boundaries.

Most of us don’t reach out to others, or try to look at a different viewpoint. We also see this in the political boundaries that hem us in. There are so many boundaries which limit us.

For instance, though Greenville, S.C. is said to be a snazzy place to visit, there’s that state boundary line that separates that city from Georgians. We’ve been meaning to visit that area for some time, but never seem to get there.

BRACK: Several reasons for visiting Canada in these hot times

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | There are several reasons for you to visit Canada these days. We just returned from a nice trip to St. John’s, Newfoundland. Here are reasons to go to Canada now.
First, it’s cool. We left 95 degrees in Georgia, flew to Toronto, had a two-hour layover and arrived after nine hours’ travel in St. John’s to 50 degree weather. During the entire 10 days there, it never got beyond 72 degrees.

FORKNER: Traveling Gwinnettian learning as he treks through Europe

By Daniel Forkner | A native of Gwinnett, I rode my bicycle as a boy on the concrete foundation of Hull Middle School, which was across the street from our house. I’ve witnessed Gwinnett grow and evolve, and realize it has everything you could ask for in a vibrant community.
