Gainesville State College president to retire at end of academic year | The Republic

Need to go if you are down near Putnam County Sincerely,  Dan Matthews Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2011 17:34:29 -0400 From: info@georgiademocrat.org To: danmatt@hotmail.com Subject: Paul Broun Town Hall Congressman Paul Broun is holding a town hall meeting tomorrow (Tues.

It is connected to Spirit Lake and has 15,000 acres of the finest fresh water one could ever hope to find. It is where wealthy Iowans go to play and stay in overpriced vacation or summer homes. The lot next to my friend Dirk's family lake house was being offered at $900K and it was a nonstop procession of people taking a gander at this very narrow acreage with only 50 feet of lakefront property.
