Mr Mitchell and I carpooled from Jackson MS to the Utica Campus of Hinds Community College for many years .He always kept a humorous atmosphere in the car telling jokes and discussions of UTC campus employees and activities. He was very kind to me and my children, for he continued to carry them to Utica ,after I was transferred to another campus of Hinds. We have fond memories of him and will cherish having known him and pray that he is continuing to make the angels laugh in Heaven. Theresa B Ellison , Romunda & Racquel Battle
