bellefay1 1 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/obits/stories/2009/07/11/hemphillobit_0711.html?cxntlid=homepage_tab_newstab As a columnist and author, Hemphill entranced readers chronicling the blue-collar South. He wrote about stock cars and country music, church burnings and church evangelists. His 15 books, including nonfiction work and novels, reverberated with all the twang and tears of a Hank Williams tune.Hemphill died early Saturday. He was 73. He had spent some time in hospice care, after cancer moved from his mouth to his lungs. Great author and Auburn man. If you haven't checked out "A Tiger Walk Through History," it's a great read.

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Aw man that's too bad. Paul and I were close friends at Auburn. He was Sports Editor of the Plainsman the first year I wrote for them. Great guy, always destined for big things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
