Sponsored by Wells Fargo, the upcoming event will be focused on support for women, and the positive impact of mentorship, something Knauls, known as the Honorary Mayor of Northeast Portland, has been a steadfast sup- porter. Among the several business- es Knauls has owned in the King neighborhood of northeast Port- land was the salon bearing his late wife’s name - Geneva’s Shear Per- fection. In 2007, Knauls also rode in the Centennial Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade as one of the Grand Marshals. Dr. Moreland-Capuia is a long- time friend of Knauls and his fam- ily.
