NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The body of a missing kayaker has been recovered from Percy Priest Lake.
73-year-old Don Slusser from Pittsburgh, PA was a well-known marathoner and he and his wife were camping at Seven Points. They had spent the past two days kayaking.
First responders were called around 8:30 last night after he disappeared as the storm moved through the area.
The Slussers are considered to be world-record holders for most miles run by a married couple at more than 300,000 miles.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
