TBA Past President Buck Lewis and his wife Malinda have been honored in Memphis and in Knoxville for their work and support of the American Red Cross. Buck Lewis served sequentially as chair of the advisory board in each city. The board room in Knoxville and the red staircase in Memphis have very recently been named in the couple's honor. He began his Red Cross service in 2005 after helping organize legal aid for Hurricane Katrina evacuees in Memphis.
