With eyes on Memorial Day, retired Army Lt. Col. Terry Barron intended to present the Peach State Bank with a flag that flew with her through the skies over Iraq. In a ceremony that, like the holiday itself, was at times somber and joyful, Barron did just that — but bank directors and the city of Gainesville left her with a surprise: a day named in her honor. Barron, the state’s first female pilot of the Blackhawk helicopter and the former chair of Brenau University’s math and science department, spoke to an audience of more than 100 people during the bank’s annual seafood boil for its members.
