Abe Pollin was a philanthropist who worked to bring out the best in DC and its people. Colbert King:
“I often wrote about problems that descended on individuals and organizations in this city that were trying to help the least among us… The phone would ring. Abe would be on the line. Ask readers to help, he would say. ‘I’ll contribute the rest,’ he would add, instructing me to not mention his name.”
