Loran Smith: On Charlie Maddox

There may be a Charlie Maddox in your town. There is one where I hang my hat, I am proud to say.

He has been a voice of reason in the Athens community for decades. He came along when official segregation was biting the dust which means he knows about the slings and arrows of a past which were fraught with insult and were intensely demeaning and repugnant.

Nonetheless, he has always turned the other cheek and kept on doing good.

Born and raised in the Classic City, he is a man who always extends a helping hand.
