Donald Curtis, right, of Farmers Insurance in Blue Ridge recently donated photo copies of the Hometown Heroes pages from The News Observer to representatives of local veterans organizations. Each page features the story of a local veteran, and the pages are being placed in a book to remain on permanent display at the Veterans Museum near Fannin County Middle School. Shown accepting the pages are, from left, Bill Stodghill, Chris McKee, who has prepared the book, and Steve Strickland.
