Featured speaker Dr. Colin Harris, retired religion proff at Mercer and frequent contributor to Ehtics Daily was Lincolnesque.
Stephen M. \fox, the convener and driving force for this event kept it together, did not become overwhelmed with emotion in his 15 minute talk about his father's ministry in Hayesville. Fox talked about the first grade, crinoline dresses and starch, baseball, chic fil a coupons with a little Truett thrown in.
There was apanel l after the Fox and Harris p[resentations. Hersey Miller, a retired physician from Statesville NC came on stage. His father Joe Miller was associational missionary at the Truett Camp until 1960, Hersey's sophomore year of basketball. He had some strong Scrabble contests with the Rev Billy Fox.
In Q and A HHS principal Noe asked a most timely question about patriotism and NFL protests which evoked a passionate response from Miller's wife, a native of Ducktown, Tn. She seemed to get the most applause from the 75 or so students, though there was attentiveness and applause of appreciation for all participants.
Young teacher from Orlando, Fl, English major at Western Carolina where he played QB and receiver for the football team, seemed to be impressed with the presentation. He, another |Teacher and Principal Noe, a former baseball player at UCF had all read some Ron Rash. There was only one confessing Chastain in the audience. I expected at least 15.
