Civic leader largely responsible for the modern Memphis Zoo
WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) noted the passing of his friend Roger T. Knox, and made the following statement:
"Roger Knox is largely responsible for today's extraordinary Memphis Zoo (but not the parking) where he served as President and CEO from 1989 to 2003. Before that he ran the Memphis-based Goldsmith's department store chain and was actively involved in civic affairs. He was a friend and will be missed. His was a life well lived."
