"It's been a long time coming, but Macon
is back." Josh was frequently seen in our
FACES section over the years - like with
Macon Rotary Club organizing a work
day with Rebuilding Macon, above, or
socializing like Jim Burt and wife
Meaghan, below. Josh poses at NewTown
in 2023. Photo by Leah Yetter for Mercer

Maconites, a series telling our stories
to further the Macon Action Plan. Josh
