Conaway: Steve Larkin was salt of the Earth and a legend
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.
If we’re lucky — very lucky — life will afford us a few very good friends — friends who expect nothing from us but us, friends whose simple presence in a room makes the room better and the day improved.
