Bristol's Big T (Terry Harrison); a beautiful soul

“Blessed are the poor in spirit.”

By reading this brief edition of my column, my friends, my hopes are that you will join me in numbering among those who have learned something beautiful about life from Big T.

This past week, I visited Big T (Terry Harrison, Bristol Tennessee High School class of '77). I graduated THS in ‘76, but Big T feels like a classmate of mine. I dare say everyone who knew him at THS felt much the same.

For someone enduring such destitute loneliness, I foung Big T to be in remarkably good spirits.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do as well in his situation.
