Gary Nicholson I was raised by Christian Parents and accepted Christ as my savior when I was very young. Following Christ and attending Church as always been my life. My Emmaus walk was in the mid 90s with Pathway East Men s walk number 3. It was a turning point in my walk of faith. Vicki and I were married in 1971 and have two sons. Vicki is a retired master teacher. We have 9 grand-kids and one great grandchild. I retired from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation in 2010 after 37 years in Law Enforcement.
In-between spoiling our grandkids, Vicki and I are photographers who seek to capture images of God s glorious creations. We also do portrait photography for friends and persons who cannot afford to pay for portraits. We never charge for our photography work. My goal now is to provide anything I can to give this same Emmaus experience to others. I attend Arbor Pointe UMC where I serve as the Chairman of the Church Council. I have also served as the Chairman of the Trustees and Chairman of Outreach as well as a member of the Staff / Parrish relationship committee.

My leisure time is spent relaxing on my deck watching birds and deer, cruising on Carnival cruise lines, chilling on the beach and walking the AT trail. I have previously served on the board as the Treasurer.
Michael Richards Michael Richards attended the Georgia Foothills Walk to Emmaus #28 where he sat at the table to Matthew. He has been blessed to have a loving and forgiving King and savior to lead him and give him opportunities to serve since he was 11 years old. He is also blessed with a loving wife of 29 and half years and triplet boys who are about to turn 22 years old.
Michael has been in working in public Education for over 28 years. 17 years were in the classroom and 11 years were for the state or a district. The Lord has also allowed him to work with many young men on the athletic field while coaching football, soccer and other sports for over 27 years.
