is our pleasure to be members of
Jackson EMC, and we enjoy your
magazines each month so much!
Campbell's great-grandfather-
my father, J.T. Culbreth-was on the
board of directors for Slash Pine EMC
in the early 1950s. He took great
pride in his position there in Homerville and was instrumental in getting
electric power to our rural area in
Echols County. It was a blessing and
time of excitement to receive electric
power in our home.

Snapshot appreciation

A letter from camp

Thanks for including our granddaughter's picture in "Beautiful Georgia" in the Snapshot section of your
May 2017 magazine. [See page 38; bit.
ly/snp0517.] She is Campbell Carriker-and was so happy to see it. We
appreciate your kindness. Thanks to
intern Dylan Thomas for writing it, as
well as sending the extra copy to us
... a very kind gesture from you all. It

Thank you for the article on
Camp Twin Lakes. [See "I can't walk,
but at Camp Twin Lakes, I can fly,"
July 2017, page 16; bit.ly/ctw0717.]
My granddaughter has attended
Camp Acheaway at Camp Twin Lakes
for a number of years. It has been
wonderful for her to be with kids
who face the same challenges she

Dedicating this issue

It is with sadness this month that
we say goodbye to longtime friend
and photographer Phillip Vullo of Atlanta, who passed away in early June
after a brief battle with cancer. Vullo's
photography has been featured on
the cover of GEORGIA Magazine for
more than a decade, showcasing
Washington Youth Tour student-delegates, Georgia Grown chefs and farm
families. His photos inside many issues depicted holiday feasts, mouthwatering dishes, barbecue champions
and the Tate House's holiday home
tour, among others. Vullo also served
as a judge in 2012 for our "Pictureperfect pets" reader photography
contest.
His work has been published
nationally for Fortune 500 companies
and magazines. A member of the
Professional Photographers of America and the National Association of
Photoshop Professionals, Vullo was
also a mixed-media fine artist and
printmaker, a digital filmmaker and a
photography educator.

Somehow it doesn't seem right
to introduce this, our first "food issue," without mentioning that nearly
20 percent of Georgians are foodinsecure, meaning that they don't
always know where they'll find their
next meal. In a country that wastes
millions of tons of food each year, it's
shocking that anyone goes hungry,
but especially those in a state whose
No. 1 industry is agriculture.
Yet according to Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic
hunger-relief organization, the rate
of food insecurity in rural counties is
higher than in metropolitan areas. It's
ironic that many of Georgia's foodinsecure households are in the very
communities whose farms feed our
state, our country and the world.
This is where the Georgia Food
Bank Association (GFBA) and the
state's regional food banks come in.
Turn to page 18 to find out how the
GFBA is working to end hunger and
how you can help.
Continuing our food theme, we
take a look at John T. Edge, writer
and director of the Southern Foodways Alliance, and his new book,
"The Potlikker Papers: A Food History
of the Modern South." See "In pursuit
of the 'greasy grail'" on page 24 for
his take on the politics, drama and
romance of Southern cooking.
Speaking of drama and cooking,
few events combine these elements
better than competitive barbecuing.
Cooking barbecue competitively isn't
like firing up the backyard grill; it's
a sport, an obsession and a way of
life for a growing number of cooks.
See "High on the hog" on page 28
for more about Georgia's smokin'-hot
barbecue scene, plus a list of competitions to help you plan your culinary
calendar.
Finally, don't forget dessert! Enjoy
the many sweet-treat recipes shared
by readers, beginning on page 38.

Photographer Phillip Vullo and Chef
Jennifer Hill Booker collaborate to get the
perfect shot for our Georgia Cooks holiday
feast story in the December 2015 issue; for
the results, see bit.ly/gahof215.

Given Vullo's great sense of
humor and love of good food, it is
only fitting that we dedicate this foodthemed issue to him. His photography, shot in late May, can be found in
this month's issue on our table of
contents and on page 26 of the John
T. Edge story.
