Now retired after decades of distinguished service to the Tennessee State Parks, Murray Crow sits down with Mark and shares memories of his remarkable parks experience.
Beginning with his schooling at UT Martin, continuing through postings at parks throughout the state, both smaller parks and resort parks and ending with many years at central office with statewide responsibility, Murray had never regretted his choice of parks as a career. Notable among these varied experiences are the preparation for the 1996 Olympic Whitewater events at Ocoee River State Park, and the implementation of the controversial fee system during the Sunquist years.
