BALD RIDGE MARINA
Young Resident Buys
Local Insurance Firm
A lifelong Cumming area
resident with seven years of
background in insurance sales
has bought out his former
bosses.
Gene Hansard, only 27, is the
new owner of the insurance
company on Main Street on the
Cumming Square.
Formerly Mashburn In
surance Agency, the new
company now bears his name—
Hansard Insurance Agency.
Hansard, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Joe Hansard of Route 8,
Cumming, graduated at For
syth County High School in 1963.
He attended Truett-McConnell
College in Cleveland, Ga.,
earning an associate of arts
degree in business ad
ministration.
He married the former Diane
Barron, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Curtis Barron of the Silver
City community and the couple
now has two children, a seven
year-old daughter, Pam, and a
five-year-old son, Scotty.
They are moving into a new
home in the Greenwood Acres
subdivision, north of Cumming.
Hansard sold life insurance in
Forsyth County for the Liberty
Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany for two years and joined
the Mashburn Agency nearly
five years ago.
His volume of sales, more
than $2-million in 1972, won him
vacations to Jamaica, Spain
and Florida. He has qualified
for the Royal Palm Club of the
American Pioneer Life In
surance Co. for the past three
years by being among the top 20
producers of the company and
last year qualified for the
Trailblazers Club for being in
the top five.
