IN JUNE 1996, Gina Carr launched The TowneLaker magazine. The premise was simple: establish a publication that would bring the community together and make the community stronger. Since that time, a second magazine, Sixes Living Magazine focusing on the Sixes and BridgeMill areas, was launched and two franchise magazines, Around Canton and Around Woodstock, were successfully started as well. As The TowneLaker celebrates its 9th year of publication, we'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the team.

Gina Carr - Founder. It was Gina's vision that brought The TowneLaker to life in 1996. Gina graduated from Georgia Tech with a degree in Industrial Engineering, and earned an MBA from Harvard. Since 1994, she has been President and Managing Broker for CENTURY 21 Advantage. Gina serves on the Board of Directors for the Hope Center, the Towne Lake Business Association and the Georgia Tech Athletic Association. She recently helped establish People4Pets and the Towne Lake Toastmasters Club. She and Don have one son, Donald. A little known fact about Gina is that she was a record-holding competitive water skier from childhood through college.

Don Kyle - Publisher. Don and his wife Gina started The TowneLaker in 1996 and Sixes Living Magazine in 2000. Don was born in Tokyo, but grew up in Florida. He graduated Cum Laude from Florida State University with a degree in Accounting. Don is involved with numerous community organizations, including the Towne Lake Business Association and Towne Lake Community Church. Don is an avid reader and enjoys working out at The Club at Towne Lake. He also is a huge FSU fan. A little known fact about Don is that he sold Bibles door to door for two summers while in college, which helped fund his education.

She moved to Georgia in 1994 and worked in human resources and recruiting until she moved to the Towne Lake area with her husband, William. Susan has two young
