The president of the University of Georgia has plans to bestow one of the institution’s highest honors upon one of Hall County’s own. Former Georgia Poultry Federation President Abit Massey is one of two individuals (the other, posthumously) who on Jan. 27 will receive UGA’s President’s Medal — an accolade recognizing contributions of those who are not current employees of UGA but “have supported students and academic programs, advanced research and inspired community leaders to enhance Georgians’ quality of life.” “We are honored to recognize two great Georgians for helping to improve our state and strengthen the university,” said President Jere W. Morehead.
