We expect the service today to be packed, and traffic a nightmare. There is only one east-west highway (two-lane) and the college staddles it. This is rural, mountain country so there is no easy way around. If there is a procession to Atlanta, the misery will be spread.

The interesting part of this is that the service will be at Young Harris College. When Zell left politics he announced that he would be returning to the college to teach, apparently without discussing it first with the school. The faculty raised such a ruckus that he was forced to back down with much public embarrassment. I enjoyed seeing the arrogant, entitled jerk get a slap upside the head.
