Lake Lanier boat landing named after ‘Boat’ Williams

Published 2:08 pm Wednesday, November 17, 2010

Frank “Boat” Williams gets congratulations from Jerry Atkins at a ceremony Sunday dedicating Lake Lanier’s boat landing to Williams, a longtime lake resident who will be 104 years old on Nov. 24. The Lake Lanier Civic Association recently bought the landing from the Gerfen family and decided to name it after Williams. Jeff Corrigan is seeking local stories about Williams for a memoir. Residents with stories or information about Williams are urged to send them to Corrigan at jeffcorrigan61@yahoo.com. See p. 8 for more photos from the event.(photo by Leah Justice)
