Tom Lee saved thirty-two lives with his boat “Zev” when the steamer U.S. Norman sank about twenty miles below Memphis on May 8, 1925. He was remembered not only for that rescue but for an invisible monument of kindliness, generosity, courage, and bigness of heart, with his good deeds scattered everywhere that day and into eternity.
