Former neighbors back governor

Dena Williams and her 11-year-old daughter, Kimberly, of Thomson, Ga., near Augusta, were among those in the audience at Philips Arena for today’s inaugural ceremonies.

The mother and daughter were guests of Gov. Sonny Perdue.

Dena Williams and her family used to live next door to Perdue in Bonaire and have known the governor since 1977.

“We helped campaign for him when he went into the Senate in the ‘90s,” Dena Williams said. “We owned a garage by his fertilizer company and worked on his vehicles.”

Kimberly was missing school to attend the festivities. “It’s something new,” she said with a big smile.
