Gary was a friend in BA and we often shared a beer and car talk (often with Steve Trask) at the "Last Chance". We were all so thrilled when Gary pulled out some old photos from BA and shared them with us on the BALTA BLOG- great photos from a friend from the past, of friends from the past. My photo was included and that of our friend Steve Trask just above mine in Gary's FLICKR Photostream. I had forgotten that Gary and Gayle burdened you, Mike, with a middle name of Trask - Steve was a great friend and was my best man when my wife and I were married in England 5 years afte leaving BA. I had hoped that Gary would make one of the reunions since we hadn't seen him in so long. I know he could have filled in some of the half truths we have been telling one another over these past 40 years. We are sorry for your loss and I'm sure your Dad will be the subject of some stories (half truths) when we meet this year in New Mexico. If you feel a little smile come over your lips in October, you'll know it's us telling lies about your Dad. Again - our deep sympathies.

He hosted a wonderful blog called The Auction Rebel and generously shared his expertise about selling books online. He personally helped me greatly, and I already feel the loss, as I always counted on being able to email Gary a question. In fact, I was hoping that he could attend the 2009 reunion, so that I could have some good bookselling talks with him. RIP, Gary. Our sympathy to you and your family, Tracy.
