[Sharing an elevator with Larry King and Abe Pollin.]

11/24/09 Abe Pollin, owner of the NBA’s Washington Wizards and former longtime owner of the Washington Capitals hockey team has died at the age of 85. He was a great philanthropist and his construction of an arena revitalized DC’s down-at-its-heels Chinatown.  The above photo was taken at GW Hospital headed into a Larry King Cardiac Foundation event in June of 2007.
