Happy 90th Birthday, Mom!
Today is a very special post in honor of my mother, Mary Jane (Reed) Gartner – 90 years young today! Not everyone lives long enough to celebrate their 90th birthday, so I’m thrilled to report that my mother is marking this momentous occasion today.
Mom, thank you for your wisdom and perseverance, and for the many years of love and support you have given me. I wish you many more years of health and happiness.
Happy Birthday, Mom … I love you!!!

About Reed Brothers
I am a co-owner of the former Reed Brothers Dodge in Rockville, Maryland. Lewis Reed, the founder of Reed Brothers Dodge was my grandfather. We were a family-owned and operated car dealership in Rockville for almost a century. I served in the United States Air Force for 30 years before retiring in the top enlisted grade of Chief Master Sergeant in July 2006. In 2016, I received the Arthur M. Wagman Award for Historic Preservation Communication from Peerless Rockville for documenting the history of Reed Brothers Dodge in both blog and book format. This distinguished honor recognizes outstanding achievement by writers, educators, and historians whose work has heightened public awareness of Rockville’s architectural and cultural heritage, growth and development.A Warm Welcome to our Blog!
