Scenic Knoxville is an 8-year-old non-profit group dedicated to pre- serving and enhancing the scenic areas of our area. It was the first such organization in the state and is affiliated with Scenic Tennessee and Scenic America. The diverse group includes a board of directors made up of Gene Burr, Lisa Starbuck, Jerome Erpen- bach, Joyce Feld, David Goodson, Marsha Grieve, Margot Kline, Robert Marlino, Kevin Murphy, and Julie Webb. “We are hosting the president of Scenic America, Mary Tracy, at the Photo by Dan Andrews East Tennessee History Center and Knoxville hosted a Navy Week celebration last week to recognize the sailors who serve our country and the communities that support she will be speaking on the scenic them.
