<p>Neely is a native of Cedartown, a graduate of the University of Georgia, and a proud journalist. In 1968, he joined his family-owned newspaper, the Valdosta Daily Times, working in the photography department. He has served as a curator on the Georgia Historical Society and often wrote about historical figures in his columns for Georgia Trend magazine. His book, "Georgia Made," continues his long-standing interest in Georgia history and historical figures. These people hauled Georgia up from its poor, agricultural roots, making it among the country's most diversified, prosperous states. They are famous, obscure, colorful, outrageous, and saintly, all with fascinating stories and all consequential, sometimes in ways felt the world over. They include Martin Luther King Jr., Jimmy Carter, Ted Turner, Alice Walker, Juliette Gordon Low, "Hammerin' Hank" Aaron, and Vince Dooley, who all deserve recognition among the most influential Georgians of the twentieth century. </p>
