Gary is such a beloved member of my family. I love Pollan Mill and our rich family heritage, which he exemplified perfectly. It was a wonderful experience getting to be around him and his lovely family when I was growing up as a kid, and see his family bloom and blossom thereafter. Love to you all, Jennifer
