Memories floated around the room as members of the Bulloch County Historical Society shared pictures of Old Bulloch County in anticipation of a pictorial coffee table book that will be released in November. In celebration of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the daily newspaper in its first form as the weekly Bulloch Herald, the Statesboro Herald will release "Statesboro Through Our Eyes," a quality publication that Statesboro Herald President Joe McGlamery called “ a cut above” other similar books. And, to make this a community project, he asked citizens for input in the form of old pictures.
