Gary Meikle and Mary Lloyd, or
as many refer to them as The Ary’s. Jack of all traits, master of all traits. I
have known Gary for well over a decade now. (Neither of us has aged a bit.)
Mary, his bride of only a few years, feels like she’s been in my life as long.
They are such good people with infectious personalities and hobbies. Surfing,
beach clean-ups, music festivals, pizza making, beer and wine drinking/making,
gardening, volunteering, and the list can go on for days. Gary is single
handedly lowering the average age at the Ballard Elks club – one of the best
kept secrets in the area! Mary is as smart as a whip with a consulting business
in education www.
marylloydconsulting.com and
Gary is following her entrepreneurial spirit with a new business constructing
pizza ovens (website coming soon at
redgrotto.com). Their generous pennies were exchanged over a
pizza fest in their backyard and I wish I would have snapped a shot of one of
those amazing pies. All the more reason for scratch & sniff!
