Notes From Donna Barron, and Her Upcoming Events

1/13/2023

Comments

 
As many of you know Donna Barron is the author of “The Man Who Carved Stone Mountain” which is biography of her father who was the chief stone carver for the monument at Stone Mountain (the worlds largest exposed granite rock.) The mountain served to provide the steps
to the Lincoln memorial in Washington DC – a mere scratch on this massive piece of granite, and has served a memorial to the Civil War. It has become a memorial involved in controversy as some attempt to erase any memory of the past. Donna will be presenting the story of her father’s work related to the carving of the monument.

  • January 11th @ 7:00 p.m. - Premiere and Panel Discussion of the Video  "Monument - The Untold Story of Stone Mountain"

Donna Faulkner Barron is the oldest daughter of Roy Faulkner, Chief Carver of the Confederate Memorial Carving at Stone Mountain Park. Donna was born to Roy and Juanita in Crawford Long Hospital in Atlanta and was raised in Covington, Georgia with her three other siblings, Richard, the oldest and the only son along with sisters Judy and Patti. Donna is married to Ronald Peter Barron and they have two children, Jessica 29 and Peter 24.

Donna completed her elementary and high school years in Newton County and furthered her education by attending Dekalb Area Tech in Clarkston, Ga where she completed her degree in Secretarial Science. Donna was now ready for the work force. She interviewed and was hired as a Stenographer for the Georgia State Labor Department where she worked for 5 years. Realizing that this career was ending, she moved back home and began her new adventure in life...being her dad's assistant. She helped compile records using her secretarial skills and in the mid 80's she found herself as the secretary to her dad who was the Curator of the Stone Mountain Carving Museum which was opened for a couple years on Memorial Drive. After the museum closed she and her dad parted their ways and she began her only family as her parents moved to McDonough, Ga. 

Later on ..30 years later.. using those same secretarial skills she would have never envisioned herself as the co-author of the book, "The Man Who Carved Stone Mountain", that her and her dad along with Kay Stowe Jones wrote. What an honor and priviledge to work side by side with her dad to tell his story and share his legacy forever. I am sure Roy is up in heaven looking down and thinking "I am so glad I invested the money in Donna's education so that one day I could be proud of her accomplishments"..Job Well Done..
