Felix R. McKnight

I remember when he died. I worked for the Dallas Times herald in the 70s, but moved back to Georgia in 1983. My mom visited me once while I was still at the paper and Mr. McKnight was in the building so they got to visit and it turns out mom worked at the National. Interesting story. Masters week 2004 I go to the press building to see Mr. McKnight. The Pinkertons have to get permission to let you in and he came back and said follow me. I knew a good bit of the staff in there and that´s when...

Felix McKnight was a true leader of the Dallas community. He served it well as a decision maker, as a newsman, and as a sports enthusiast. His dedication to the Cotton Bowl Classic will long be remembered, serving as President and being inducted to the Hall of Fame. His character was strong and his love for Dallas
was unwaivering. He and his leadership will be missed.

Sincere condolences to the entire Family.
