Fortunately,
for
one
of
us
and
we're
still
debating
the
winter
55
years
later,
a
teacher
came
out
and
broke
it
up
and
he
threatened
to
tell
our
parents
and
the
principal
who
was
my
uncle
at
the
time.
He
said
he
wouldn't.
If
we
would
shake
hands
and
become
friends,
and
we
did,
we
started
playing
chess
together.
Ping
pong
and
basketball
I
had
to
play
against
him,
who
was
six
foot
two,
his
twin
brother,
six
foot,
seven
and
another
brother
at
six
foot
four,
so
I
learned
how
to
shoot
outside
very
quickly.
C
His
brother
went
on
to
play.
I
got
a
full
ride
at
Samford
University
in
Alabama,
Jerry
was
pastor
of
Morley.
Baptist
Church
for
three
years
has
been
on
many
mission
trips
abroad
and
now
has
a
weekly
broadcast
on
our
wlaf
and
LaFollette
delivering
Bible
stories
for
the
past
20
years.
Jerry
has
a
BS
in
chemistry
and
a
BS
in
math
from
LMU
and
Harrogate
and
a
master's
degree
from
both
Tennessee
Tech
and
UT
and
Knoxville.
C
D
You
Dennis,
yes,
we've
always
been
good
friends,
it
is
great
to
have
friends,
are
a
blessing
for
God,
hey
Ben,
amen,
I
want
to
tell
you
those
degrees,
I
thought.
I
was
a
big
shot
in
40
years,
I
worked
at
Oak
Ridge
National
Laboratory.
When
I
got
down
there,
everybody
on
the
library
in
the
laboratory
had
a
PhD.
In
physics
the
janitors
have
phds
in
physics,
I
was
nothing.
They
weren't
impressed.
D
Guys.
I've
got
a
little
bit
of
criticism.
No
offense
I
hate
to
start
out
with
criticism,
but
my
watch
my
time's
a
little
bit
different
yours
I've
got
six
o'clock.
You
just
started
your
work
session
at
six
o'clock.
Bankers
have
more
hours
than
you
got.
How
do
you
get
anything
done
now?
Bl
gave
me
a
great
tour
today,
and
he
said
you
were
part-time
and
I
said
amen.
D
D
You
started
working
this
late
in
the
day,
but
I'm
kidding
I'm
kidding.
Oh,
but
I
do
appreciate
you.
You
are
for
the
workers
state
of
Tennessee
and
my
prayer
is
that
you'll
be
for
all
tennesseans
and
I
really
believe
you
are
I,
believe
you
have
Compassionate
Heart,
because
not
all
tennesseans
or
blessed
with
a
good
job,
not
all
tennesseans
had
a
good
education.
D
D
D
The
Holy
Spirit
came
the
back
row
of
the
Baptist
Church,
where
our
playing
Christian-
and
he
said
you
fool
these
folks,
but
you
haven't
fooled
me
today's
the
day
of
salvation
and
I
really
took
it
to
me
the
day's.
The
last
day.
It's
your
chance
of
last
day
that
you
can
be
saved
the
last
day
because
you've
sinned
enough
for
eight
lifetimes
I've,
actually
thought
I
had
sinned
away
the
day
of
Grace,
but
that's
what
the
definition
of
Grace
is.

Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
last
Thursday,
at
the
privilege
of

watched
him
beat
the
New
Jersey
Devils
and
in
the
middle
of
that
great
contest,
all
of
a
sudden
I'll
look
up

Due

back
champions.
H
So

I.
Think

the
quad

led
by
the
best
coach
in
the
business
coach,
Kevin
Creasy,
who
is
also

Hall

coaches,
a
smothering
defense
and
a

Thank

were
a
state
champion
yourself,

to
see
you

and
shaking
still
to
this
day.
I
want
to
give
a

and,
of
course,
Central
Reeves.
All
of
you

We
hope

a
championship
season
as
well
and
come
to
a
ball
game.
Sometime
I
promise
you,
you
won't
be
disappointed.
I
These
guys,
funnest
bunch
I've,
ever
been
around
to
coach.
They
made
history
first
time
in
the
largest
classification
in
the
state
that
there
was
there
that
there
was
a
three-time
repeat,
first
time
back
to
back-to-back
championship
and
like
I
said,
hopefully
we
can
be
back
next
year
and
make
it
four.
Thank
you,
foreign.
B
J
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker.
On
last
weekend,
my
barber
was
shot
and
killed
by
a
bullet
that
wasn't
targeted
towards
him.
His
name
was
Darwin
Hill.
He
was
29
years
old
less
than
a
month
ago.
He
just
had
a
his
second
child,
and
so
I
do
want
us
to
just
take
a
moment
to
recognize
and
his
family
Dariana
Anderson
his
fiancee
and
the
children
as
well.
K
Mr
Speaker
with
that
I
think,
is
a
great
segue
into
all
of
us.
Here.
That's
been
events
of
time.
Remember:
Tom,
Hensley
and
Tom
met
his
untimely
demise.
I.
Think
a
couple
of
days
ago
and
I
was
just
telling
my
colleague
over
here
about
how
I
met
him.
I
was
a
college
student
watching
the
news
on
television
and
college
undergrad
and
the
story
is
so
compelling.
I
began
to
pay
attention
and
all
I
can
remember
is
they
called
the
man,
the
Golden
Goose
I'm,
going
to
figure
out?
What
is
that
not
who
it
was?
K
But
what
is
that
and
years
later
began
to
figure
out
totally
what
it
was
had
an
opportunity
to
meet
him
on
some
occasion
and
then
work
with
him
for
a
long
time
and
I
think
he
served
probably
for
about
64
years
up
here.
That's
longer
than
some
of
us
are
old
on
this
house
floor
and
he's
going
to
be
greatly
missed
because
he
taught
a
lot
taught
me.
A
lot
taught
a
lot
of
us
a
lot.
So
with
that
and
I'm
sure
all
y'all
have
stories
that
have
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
him.
L
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
I
rise
tonight
to
memorialize
a
good
friend
of
mine,
the
entire
National
community
in
the
Jewish
community
of
Middle
Tennessee
and
Nashville
Mr
Avi,
Poster
Mr
poster
was
always
the
first
to
offer
a
kind
word,
a
letter
of
support,
a
call
of
support
not
just
to
me,
but
all
of
our
entire
Davidson
County
delegation,
as
well
as
any
of
anyone
else.
I
know
in
this
body
or
the
Metro
Council.
L
Whoever
stood
up
for
what
he
believed
right
and
just
he
was
a
fervent
advocate
for
Education
immigration,
Refugee,
Rights,
poverty
reduction
and
prison
reform,
and
he
will
be
dearly
missed
and
so.
I
would
just
ask
you
to
join
me
of
a
moment
of
silence
to
memorialize
my
good
friend
and
a
friend
of
our
entire
Community
Mr
Avi
