Dick Pellow and his large family have created an empire in the Twin Cities which is an example of excellence. Despite the pressure of managing his multi-phase commercial complex he finds time to be one of the true leaders in the industry. He is always thought of early when an important task is proposed and he has yet to turn his back. He offered himself to be an elected member of the legislature and nearly won, a great loss to the industry. His peers hold him in deep affection for his selfless service in whatever circumstance presents itself.
