Passing of a friend

Former TISL delegate, Robin Clay Hall - UTK, died Saturday evening and his funeral will be just a few blocks away as the 39th TISL General Assembly convenes. The funeral will be at McKendree United Methodist Church, downtown on Church Street, Thursday at 11:30. Reverend Clay Hall served as pastor of this congregation just a few years ago. I recall that Clay was very active with TISL during the 12th and 13th General Assemblies. Clay was a son, a student, a soldier, a pastor, a husband, a father and a friend. He will be sorely missed.

The Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislature is a forum for the top echelon of campus leaders and political science students to exchange ideas and express their opinions on state, federal and local issues.

TISL's General Assembly, which first convened in 1966, meets in the legislative chambers of the State Capitol each November.
