This is Gary. People often get confused when I explain my relationship with him. He’s known me since before I was born, celebrated every birthday with me (as far as I can remember), is one of the best hosts I know … I could go on. To the best of my knowledge, he and my dad met because they have offices in the same office building. A simple, not-quite eloquent history to his becoming a cross between a friend, uncle, mentor, teacher, and fellow gustatory enthusiast.
