Carl Sanders, the Georgia governor from 1963-67, who died last week, had a lot of Gainesville connections. The Dunlaps, who were politically potent in Hall County, were among his best friends and supporters. Sanders helped Hall County get Interstate 985 after the I-85 route was shifted southward away from Gainesville.
