Oakwood said goodbye Monday night to three city council members with a combined 76 years of experience. And for Martha Collins, Ron McFarland and Montie Robinson, much has changed since they began their long tenures with the South Hall County city. “We started here long ago with two hair salons, one little country store and a post office — that’s what we had,” said Robinson, who served for 35 years, speaking at a reception at City Hall.
