Traveling coast to coast, “We Are” brings you the amazing people and towns where Georgia-Pacific calls home. In this episode, we travel south to Palatka, Florida. Palatka was the largest town in Florida through the early 1900’s though it’s hard to believe it today as you drive through this beautiful small town. Home of the St. Johns River and it’s world-class fishing, Palatka is also the home of the Dallas Family. Beginning with Mom back in the 1960’s, the entire family has over 150 combined years working at the Georgia-Pacific mill. You’ll meet “The Inventor,” Wade Dallas who has three patents and is always tinkering with new ideas, along with his older sister Karen who is celebrating 42 years at the mill. Come along as we meet this amazing family, try out Florida’s oldest diner, relive high school football memories and enjoy the Florida Azalea Festival. We might also discover what’s in Wade’s “Super Chest.” Series Creator / Executive Producer / Director – Walter Biscardi, Jr.; Executive Producer – Jack Priblo; Director of Photography – TJ Jaglinski; Video Editor – Scott Franklin; Motion Graphics – Walter Biscardi Jr
