— Griffin Daily News Thursday, February 3,1977 Page 2 Kmart promotes Griffin manager Daniel Brazelton, manager of the Griffin Kmart store, has been promoted to manage a larger Kmart store in Huntsville, Ala. The promotion comes after much work on the part of Brazelton in opening and assuring the successful operation of the Griffin store. Brazelton has been working with Kresge Company (which operates the Kmart stores) since he graduated from high school in Detroit, Mich. "I studied architectural engineering as a senior in high school,’’ said Brazelton. “Then I went on to the University of Michigan to major in it. While there I realized that I enjoyed working with Kresge more than engineering, so I joined in their management training program.” From 1963 to 1968, Brazelton worked his way through the assistant managers’ program. He became assistant manager of a Kresge store in Detroit in 1968. By 1974 he had worked as assistant manager of Kresge stores in Saginaw, Mich., and in Sinclair Shores, Mich. In 1974, Brazelton was transferred to Atlanta, where he worked as co-manager of the Kmart store at Greenbriar Shopping Center until October of that year when he moved to CLEARANCE ; SALE I Begins t There.: 10:00 AM. >• Jumpsuits . up tol/2Off • Casual Dresses I/2 off • Gauchos... 1/ 9 leather Trim ' • Boot Skirts...

Miss Branch, 19, was injured seriously in a Jan. 13 traffic accident near Milner which took the life of her brother, Bobby, 20. Presently she is a patient at Georgia Baptist Hospital in Atlanta where she is expected to remain in traction for some 11 weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Branch credit their daughter’s improved condition to the care she received while in the Griffin- Spalding Hospital. “I feel without a doubt, if it wasn’t for the special care she had in the emergency room and the intensive care unit, our loss would have been much Notice We have several reconditioned engines & crankshaft kits for older model cars at great savings.
