	TN Encyclopedia: FREDERICK W. SMITH
		FREDERICK W. The Memphis entrepreneur who established Federal Express in 1971, Frederick Smith was born in Marks, Mississippi, on August 11, 1944.
		Upon his return to United States, Smith was a married man (to Linda Black Grisham; they divorced in 1977), and he could now put to work his sizeable inheritance (held in trust until he turned twenty-one) from his father's prior investments in the Dixie Greyhound Bus company and the Toddle House Restaurant chain.
		At first Smith had hoped to capture a contract with the Federal Reserve System--thus the name Federal Express--but the bankers were not convinced that Smith could create a reliable overnight delivery service.
