Gary is on my Mt. Arbo-more along with some other people who have been influential in my life as an arborist.
A number of years ago I was left without work to get through the winter so I worked with Gary. He's the one who taught me how to get match-stick sized deadwood out of 100% of the crown. Gary runs a tiny company but has had the most positive effect on arborculture in Minnesota. A real champion!
Gary is also the MN Chapter host for the ITCC. We'll all be able to cheer him in person in '06. Hip Hip Hooray!
