I'm very sorry for your loss. I worked with Mr. Hinson's sister, Hattie Hinson in public health nursing many years ago in Nashville. I am visiting in the area from Oregon and would like to look her up but the phone number I have is no longer in service. Could anyone help me contact her? Kathy Phillips Marshall, Thank you.
