Join us for a posthumous celebration of From Out of the Smokies: Stories of Fly Fishing and Life, a memoir documenting the late Charlie Tombras’s incredible life. Speakers include Dooley Tombras and Dr. Warren Dockter.
Knoxville native Charlie Tombras may be best known for his fifty-seven-year leadership of the 2025 Ad Age Advertising Agency of the Year the Tombras Group, but in his moving memoir, From Out of the Smokies: Stories of Fly Fishing and Life, he chronicles his personal journey, letting business take a backseat.
