Conaway: The quintessential Memphis story of Clarence Saunders
Daily Memphian
Dan Conaway
Dan Conaway is a lifelong Memphian, fascinated and frustrated with his city, but still in love. A columnist since 2010, his distinguished advertising career has branded ribs in the Rendezvous and ducks in The Peabody, pandas in the zoo and Grizzlies in the NBA. Stories in Memphis tend to write themselves. He’s helped a few along. Two book collections of his columns have been published.
Saunders' tale is a roller coaster ride from rock bottom to dizzying height and back again, a journey that left an indelible mark on the world.
