All:

We have just learned that Fred Mills, Professor of Trumpet in the Hodgson School of Music, died of injuries following an automobile accident earlier this evening. He passed away while under doctor’s care at Athens Regional Hospital. We have very few details at this time, but hope to know more by morning.

We are all deeply saddened by this unexpected and tragic loss of a dear friend, inspired teacher, and great musician.

Dr. Dale E. Monson
Director
Hugh Hodgson School of Music
