Ben was unforgettable. I am an auction junkie having attended all over the U.S. from Iowa to Alaska to Missouri and most recently in Tennessee. I rank Ben Gary in my top five. The other four I have yet to discover! I will forever remember his call for $7.50. It always sounded to me like BONANZA, BONANZA, BONANZA ..... I was always amused by his Monday evening auctions where it seemed like I was attending school and we all had a seating chart. Of course Ben and my memories of the Gary auction house could not be separated from his helpers, and close knit family. My hope is that the Gary auction business lives on for a long time. Mrs. Gary never made a mistake that I know of and James was a loyal sidekick that his Dad fondly once told me that his son could repair anything on the farm. I have especially enjoyed observing young Joe Spencer with his wonderful out-going (auctioneer to be) personality. But I will always remember Ben and his distinctive auction cry.
