Elliott Brack

I went to Elliot Brack's funeral yesterday. He was a friend. And he was quite a character. He was one of the first people I met outside of work when I moved to Georgia. He was sort of a variation of the main character of Tom Wolfe's "A Man In Full". I used to say that Elliott and I had a 50-50 relationship. He told me what to do and I did it -50-50. He was a fixture at my church and involved me in all sorts of things. Including the organization of our "Civic Breakfast" where we invited leaders from the community for information and opinions of community. It goes on and on. He will be missed. https://www.crowellbrothers.com/obituaries/Elliott-Earl-Brack?obId=48440319

I went up to Helen Georgia about an hour away from Duluth. I visited a working water driven grist mill. They had a single turbine operational. I had to leave shortly after I arrived; I became very jealous of the owners. Then I hiked about 5 miles. At about 2.5 miles there was a very nice secluded waterfall at Raven Cliffs. I am planning my next trip up there in a few weeks.
