So Brian Annino apparently specialized in getting his hands on that sweet sweet federal gubmint money.
This is all freakishly local to me, but I've never heard of Annino or Weber.
Weber's Germany/Paraguay/South America connections are freaking me out too.
Check this out: I found Weber's wife.
Lives in Marietta Country Club subdivision
Strong proponent of "equity" in women's employment
Is the CEO of Wise Foods, Inc.:

The foods firm, founded in Pennsylvania in 1921, is best known for its line of potato chips, but also manufactures popcorn, pretzels, pork rinds, tortilla chips, dips and salsa. According to Bloomberg, its brand names include Bravos, Dipsy Doodles, Ridgies, Wavy Potato Chips, Cheez Waffies and Wise, and its products are sold mainly in the Eastern U.S. Wise has been owned by Latin America’s second-largest bottler, Arca Continental, S.A.B. de C.V., since 2012.
Upon graduation from the University of Georgia nearly 20 years ago, Weber secured what she thought would be a three-month internship working with the Coca-Cola Company in Asuncion, Paraguay. The job turned into a full-time position, as she eventually served as the National Marketing Director and Business Development Manager at Suntory Water Group (Crystal Springs water) and Core Brand Manager for Coca-Cola Paraguay. It became a blessing to her both personally and professionally, as it allowed her to meet her husband, Michael, an entrepreneur doing business there, as well as catapulted her into her first job with Wise in 2004 as Brand Manager.
“They were looking to break into the Hispanic market and I had that experience, so it was a great transition,” Weber said. “Marketing was always my passion and always thought I would be in marketing, but the more years you’re in business and in an organization, you’re looking to grow professionally, so when the CFO position came along, it was a tremendous way to broaden my horizons. That opportunity gave me a more diverse experience and I think it’s good to learn about the various aspects of business and not focus on just one discipline.”

Preaching to the choir. Have been reading about Paperclip since it was declassified.
Those freaks got redistributed all over the place.
Huntsville, Alabama was up to its eyeballs in sprechen sie deutsch.
The guys I knew in high school, whose grandpa was one of them, finished Georgia Tech in 2.5 years. Freaking brilliant.
Grandpa was a rocket avionics expert, one of the best.
I didn't know them well; my dad knew their father a bit better. Gunther would talk about how they were only allowed to take one suitcase when they left Germany. He was writing stock performance predictive software last I heard, although he didn't seem all that interested in money or investments. It was about the problem-solving to him. Would take TVs, stereos, early computers apart, then reassemble them.
Georgianon here is waiting on the 6pm WSB-TV news for any update on the plane crash
Not surprised to hear the precise crash site was only accessible by ATV and after that by foot.
There's still plenty of spaces like that in Georgia.
One entire side of my dad's family settled in Gordon County in mid 1800's, right after the Trail of Tears
Only white people there before were German Mennonites who settled there among the Cherokee and built a school there, also shared a bunch of gardening techniques with the Cherokee
Chief Joseph Vann's house is still in Gordon County, you can tour it
The Etowah Mounds aren't far away
Pretty cool area to visit, very pretty. Looks kind of English countryside-ish.
Lot of cattle & chicken farms now.
Wish I had some moolah laying around to buy some acreage there.
