The public will have a chance to pay its respects to Zell Miller in Atlanta and in his beloved North Georgia hometown in the coming days.

On Monday, a public memorial service will take place at 10 a.m. on the campus of Young Harris College. The event will be held in Glenn-McGinnis Hall in the Clegg Fine Arts Building of the college where Miller was a professor when he ran for and won a state Senate seat to launch his political career.
