He worked alongside his father transporting furs from Canada to the U.S. fur markets from the age of 10, earning 10 cents an hour for a ten-hour day. His father, a Russian immigrant at the turn of the 20th century, taught him

    I met Harold at the Sammy house in Austin, when he undertook the construction of 2501 Leon. I learned what a punch list was and grew to admire him. What a Gentleman, and at the same time, no BS…and no one was going to leave a mark on that house. What memories…I am only 10 years late leaving this, but I was able to attend the tribute to he and Jimmy Alexander in Dallas and thank him for all he did for us Sammy’s of Sigma Theta.

    Our sincerest sympathies and condolences go out to the Pollman family at this difficult time.

    The loss of a father and patriarch to an entire family is always a huge blow but I know that Leah and the rest of the family will weather this with grace and dignity.

    A speedy recovery to Leah.

    Always,
    Alvin and Yolanda Brown

    I met Harold when Mike Friedman received the Master of Design Studies at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and Mike asked me to invite Harold to lecture to my real estate development students. That Fall, in front of about 60 graduate students from over a dozen countries, Harold pulled out a beat-up muddy pair of boots out of a bag, and told them his story. My students were used to world famous architects and developers. But they hung on his every word. Later in the afternoon, Harold held
