His name alone is on the state park sign, but Don Carter shared the spotlight Thursday afternoon with his wife, Lucile, a longtime community volunteer. Friends and well-wishers poured into Peach State Bank to honor the couple as part of “Don and Lucile Carter Appreciation Day,” a mostly drop-in event recognizing the Carters’ accomplishments in Gainesville-Hall County. “Thank you very much, everyone,” Don Carter told the crowd after a brief program featuring presentations by Abit Massey, president emeritus of the Gainesville-based Georgia Poultry Federation.
