“Mr. Emory & Henry” dies at age 81. A.L. Mitchell, E&H’s longtime registrar and Beta Lamba Zeta Fraternity sponsor, died Monday, March 19.
Dubbed by Dr. Dan Leidig as “The Nicest Man in Emory,” Al has remained active on campus as a mentor to the members of BLZ and a rabid fan of E&H athletics. Funeral services are set for Wednesday, March 21, in Emory & Henry’s Memorial Chapel. Visitation begins at Noon, and the funeral will follow at 3 pm. In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to the A.L. Mitchell scholarship fund at Emory & Henry (PO Box 950, Emory, VA 24327).

This loss digs deep. Man could he make you laugh and feel good even when the chips were down! He was another good experience that I had at Emory.
I'd be there this weekend, but my oldest has made it to FBLA States in Reston. Mr. Mitchell was such a good friend and true mentor to so many of us at EHC, he will be truly missed. I can't imagine how it will feel to not see him on the sidelines next year. I imagine it will be just as heartbreaking as missing Coach Selfe. You all were truly his pride and joy, the sons he never had. Safe travels :)
xoxo,
Tammi
