Why did you get involved with Shelby Farms Park?  I represent the Shelby County Agricenter Commission

What's your favorite place in the Park?  The north undeveloped acreage.

What's your favorite place in Memphis (other than Shelby Farms Park)?  The Mississippi River where I've spent a childhood and helped raise a family on boats, sandbars and the woods of willow and cottonwood trees.  

Shelby Farms Park is, other than home to Agricenter, a blank canvas awaiting various artists--it's board, consultants, planners and employees--to develop in a fashion that preserves and enhances its natural assets and adds appropriate features and attractions that become a magnet to attract the area's citizens.
