As a young newspaper reporter in 1981, I met George Lindsey when he visited Clarksville, Tenn., to attend an event at Austin Peay State University. He was a kind man who gave freely of his time, and it meant the world to this wet-behind-the-ears reporter. My time with him was among the highlights of my journalism career. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of this great man and decent human being.
