INTRODUCTION
From the Henssler Financial Studio, welcome to Cobb Life, proudly brought to you by the Marietta Daily Journal. I'm Keith Ippolito, representing the BG Ad Group, and we're excited to have you join us for this latest episode. Our show's lineup is brought to you by Credit Union of Georgia. In today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Brad Hawkins, the project coordinator at the Aviation History & Technology Center. My fascination with Cobb's aviation history began after reading a recent article in the MDJ featuring local historian Bill Marchione, shedding light on aviation's profound impact on Smyrna and Cobb County's growth. And guess what? Bill will be joining us next week! Brad and I delved into the legacy of Charles M. Dobbins, the local war hero behind Dobbins Air Force Base's name, as well as the pivotal role played by James Carmichael, one of Lockheed's first plant managers. We also explored how the aviation industry intersected with the history of segregation in the South. So, stay tuned for an enlightening episode of Cobb Life, where we uncover the diverse stories and experiences within our vibrant community.
