Robert Hummel, the acknowledged master of political direct mailing in Memphis, who worked across party lines for a Who’s Who of political candidates and campaigns, collapsed and died Wednesday at his current Memphis workplace at American Resource Systems in Bartlett.

Hummel’s late mother, Barbara Walker Hummel, was a Miss America in 1948, and his brother, Andy Hummel, was a founding member of Big Star, the power rock band headed by the late Alex Chilton.
