TPR said Slocum used her intelligence and principles as a moral force to shepherd news organizations through turbulent times, leading the station into “a new era for public media.”and graduated from Southern Illinois University and the St. Louis University School of Law. After several years in private practice focused on business law in the Dallas area, Slocum served as legal and business advisor to convenience store chain 7-Eleven.
“This grew our capability to produce meaningful, award-winning news, arts programming, and public events that educate, entertain, and enlighten tens of thousands,” he said in Slocum’s TPR obituary.
