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.
