Last Saturday, members of the Isaac Litton High School Alumni Association came together to celebrate and dedicate the new Isaac Litton Alumni Center and Gymnasium. Bill Stalker, class of 1970 and owner of Trinity Construction in Mt. Juliet, played a large role in the reconstruction of the building. As one of Comfort Supply’s trusted dealers, we were on hand to support and celebrate with Bill. As were Mayor Karl Dean, Congressman Jim Cooper and House Speaker Beth Harwell, who joined the alumni association board members for the ribbon cutting.
