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. His 50% was telling me. My 50% was doing it. He was a fixture at my church and involved me in all sorts of things. Including organization of our "Civic Breakfast" where we invited leaders from the community for information and opinions of the community. It goes on and on. There were 260 people attending his funeral. He will be missed. https://www.crowellbrothers.com/obituaries/Elliott-Earl-Brack?obId=48440319

Interstate 85 in Atlanta collapsed on the evening of March 30, 2017. Three sections of both the Northbound and the Southbound road had to be replaced. It was completed by May 14th 2017. We took a drive to see for myself and flew the drone for some pictures. It is indeed open and I am amazed at the cleanliness and completeness of the work. Amazing. It took less than 2 months working around the clock. Well done. If we were in NY it would have taken at least a year.
