A prominent Statesboro dentist and devoted humanitarian was honored Thursday for a lifetime of placing “service above self.” In an evening banquet at Statesboro’s Belle House, Dr. Hudson Powell Jr. was announced the 2013 Citizen of the Year by the Rotary Club of Downtown Statesboro and the Rotary Club of Statesboro. Powell has deep roots in Bulloch County — he grew up in Register, graduated from Statesboro High School and has operated the Statesboro Family Dental practice for more than 30 years — and an extensive track record of charitable giving.
