This week’s Hometown Hero, presented by Hendrick Southpoint, is John Barrow — a longtime counseling psychologist at Duke who, in his retirement, has served on the board of director for Orange County Living Wage. As he prepares to step down from that position, 97.9 The Hill and Chapelboro.com formally recognize Barrow for his active contributions toward making Orange County a fairer, more accessible place.
