Quote of Tim Holtom (nephew of Gerald Holtom in a letter to author Ken Kolsbun, June 2006) ~
"He was a man ahead of his time; one moment, a manic radical genius, the next a magnanimous, charming & genial host & entertainer, & then sometimes, when bogged down by pessimists, his dark brooding side would intervene & ensuing intermittent explosions of roaring rhetoric could be heard reverberating throughout the house like a crescendonous Beethovenesque clamor. …Despite all the disappointments in his life, however, Gerald never let things crush his spirit… he was always full of resolve & injected considerable passion into the numerous & diverse projects he devised, even when many people around him were skeptical as to their feasibility."
