I heard Gary from Governor Antiques, over in Mechanicsville, Va passed away. I did not know him very well, just from dealings with him in his store in that smoke filled backroom. He was always very fair. He, and his buddy Mac Mason, were definite shapers of the Civil War relic business in his area
Perhaps someone from up in Virginia who knew him better could write up something and enter it in the 'remember the great ones' category.
