Interesting Folks

All sorts of interesting people keep crossing my path. Take, for instance, Katherine Harrison. Mrs. Harrison was visiting MCG to demonstrate new ways to take and test biological samples. She has a degree in Research Biology and was in the field of research until she got married. She and her husband live just outside San Francisco. They purchased a house which meant a mortgage none of us could afford, so she left the field of research and began in Biological Testing Sales. You’d think someone with this type of degree would be all serious and focused on work, but Mrs. Harrison is one of the most personable, funniest people I have met in quite a while. I am truly looking forward to her next visit.
It seems my source was incorrect when he told me that the public was not welcome at the Peach Jam. I have also been told that the quote he gave me that supposedly came from Mayor Jones was also incorrect. I do apologize if this be the case. I had no reason to doubt this person as he is very involved in the goings on in the city and he said this in front of others. From what I understand I can now go straight to the source if I have any questions and my questions will be answered. I do not write these things because I have dislike for the city. On the contrary, I love this city but I sometimes see an injustice and would like to call attention to it as well as hopefully correct it. My point is still valid; tax revenue, meals, shopping and lodging in North Augusta should be promoted. We should not sit by and watch all those revenues drive across the Thirteenth Street Bridge.
You University of Georgia fans may be interested in who I met this week. He was a nose guard for the Bulldogs in 1996 and had plans to go pro until he tore up his knee. After surgery it became apparent he was not going to be able to play any longer and now he is, of all things, an accountant. Any guesses as to who he is? Well, you die hard fans will probably remember him; it is Rory Hogan. He was in town with his girlfriend Shannon who works for an ad agency in Atlanta. She is involved in print, television and commercial ads.
