The Northeast Georgia History Center is honoring three area businessmen as “local legacies” in its annual Taste of History Luncheon. The center, which is at 322 Academy St. NE, Gainesville, plans to recognize Jan Cooley, Jack Frost and Milton Robson on Thursday in the banquet hall at First Baptist Church, 751 Green St. NW. “These three gentlemen came from very different backgrounds, but all have … the desire or the need to overcome any obstacles to make their business a success, then to stretch that success to become widely known and respected in their field,” said Cheryl Vandiver, chairwoman of the fundraising event. “Coming from very little, they now give back to the community in very different ways,” she said.
