End of an era ...



While perusing the Johnson City Press online I saw an article stating that Dr. Joe Corso had passed.   You can find the article here

As a young woman going to East Tennessee State University, with big dreams and wide eyes, I remember sitting in Dr. Corso's class on Appalachian Politics.  I remember thinking, I am from the Appalachian region, why do I need a class on the politics of this region.  I was prepared for absolute boredom.  However, to my surprise, his class was fun and interesting.  I gained a unique insight into the political structure of this region.  I still utilize my knowledge from that class when analyzing elections, etc..  

Rest in peace Dr. Corso.  You will be missed.
