Morris on Hammersmith.

Veteran local newsman Chris Morris remembers Kevin Hammersmith. Kevin's visitation is today, and the funeral is tomorrow. Both are at Seabrook Dieckmann & Naville's Market Street Chapel in New Albany. For the next two days, dry hankies will be at a premium hereabouts.

But if Kevin Hammersmith taught us anything it was to not be afraid to serve, or to give back, like he did during his 51 years on earth.
