Jerusalem-born R. Ephraim Greenblatt (1932-2014), was the leading disciple (Talmid Muvhak) of R. Moshe Feinstein. Searching for a capable candidate to lead the struggling Orthodox community in Memphis, R. Moshe selected the 20-year-old R. Greenblatt, who would remain in Tennessee for the next six decades. R. Greenblatt is mentioned countless times in his teacher's Igroth Moshe, while his own responsa, Rivevoth Efraim (10 volumes), have become a staple of the American rabbinic bookshelf.
