THE FACE OF ANTIQUE & ESTATE JEWELRY

VAN

What began as a family-owned group of department stores is now known for all things jewelry!

Chuck, Van, Sam, and Ray have all graduated from the Gemological Institute of America in California. The original store is in historic downtown New Albany, Mississippi, where most days you will find Chuck. Chuck’s eldest son, Van,

is at the helm in the Oxford location on the square, along with Ray, who is responsible for all hand-engraving and customer assistance. The newest addition to the family-owned stores is the downtown Tupelo, Mississippi, location to be managed by Chuck’s second-in-line son, Sam. The youngest son, Jack, a graduate from MTSU in aviation, is a private pilot for Net Jets. Thank you, Mid-South, for featuring us, and we look forward to seeing you. You Know She’s Worth It.

Initially started as a utilitarian concrete operation, under Kevin’s helm the business has evolved into an award-winning custom-design and build company, specializing in all aspects of backyard living. This multifaceted family business offers all types of

concrete hardscapes and masonry: patios, driveways, pool decks, walls, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, and bars. Their team also offers custom-built structures including pergolas, arbors, and screened enclosures. And they have garnered a well-earned reputation for their transformative pool renovations and reconstruction. Serving the Memphis area for over 75 years, Baltz & Sons Concrete remains a pioneer in their field, built on the three-generation foundation of integrity, quality, vision, and experience.

With a history spanning five decades, this local chain has become synonymous with delicious burgers and has been voted “Best Burger in Memphis” since 1984.

and a full bar takes up the center of each location. Huey’s Poplar, one of the restaurant’s most visited locations, recently added a new to-go kitchen to better serve its growing customer base, and this spring, you can look forward to a newly renovated patio there, too.

THE FACE OF CATASTROPHIC INJURY & WRONGFUL DEATH LAW

PEEL LAW FIRM

David B. Peel, Injury Attorney

PUTS THE “PERSONAL” IN PERSONAL INJURY LAW

David Peel is sought after by those who prefer a personal touch rather than the commercialized chain store approach to their family’s claims. “I’m not on TV — because I don’t have to be,” Peel quipped.

His reputation appears well-earned. Peel is rated “AV+ Preeminent” by his peers (highest possible) and is a life member of Multi-Million Dollar Advocates, with multiple multi-million dollar results. He has been voted “Best of the Best Attorney” in local Readers’ Choice Awards for years and named a Mid-South Super Lawyer for well over a decade. He has published two books, including one on law, and has authored over 1,000 articles.

Peel has recently added “amateur historian” to his list of accomplishments. His local historical

videos on Peel Law Firm’s Facebook page have garnered quite a following.

But nothing rivals the popularity of in-house client-therapy dog CrashtheLawDog, the famous Goldendoodle with his own social media following.

Extensive period-correct renovations approach completion on the 110-year-old home that serves as the new office, which has this commanding view of Arlington’s Historic Depot Square.

Professional accomplishments aside, Peel is most proud of his wife of 30 years — Trish, his three adult children, his daughter-in-law, and his precious grandson.

He volunteers his time speaking and presenting, and assisting community groups in preserving local history, as well as supporting Christian Legal Society and serving on the board of Love Worth Finding Ministries.

THE FACE OF CATERING

PARADOX CATERING & CONSULTING >>>

Chef Jimmy Gentry

Jimmy Gentry of Paradox Catering was formally trained at Johnson and Wales College of Culinary Arts. Before starting Paradox with partner Alia Hogan, he led kitchens across the Mid-South to win multiple awards. Almost 16 years ago, Paradox Catering was created with the vision to redefine what people expected not only from the food itself but from the presentation and service as well.

Paradox's team and Chef Gentry work closely with clients to define their personal style, which we then translate into every aspect of an event so we can provide that one-of-a-kind experience they always envisioned. "We have been truly fortunate to be embraced by the Mid-South," says Chef Gentry, "and have in turn seen tremendous success with our creative and innovative approach to catering."

THE FACE OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

HARDING ACADEMY >>>

At Harding Academy, we teach students that everything they learn is connected to God. In art, we talk about how we create because we are made in the image of a Creator God. In engineering, we explore the nature of God by discovering and creating order. In history, we

challenge students to be justice seekers like Ida B. Wells. Once students make those connections, learning becomes meaningful because it’s personal. Schedule a tour to see firsthand how we move students from information to transformation.

THE FACE OF CO-EDUCATION

WOODLAND PRESBYTERIAN SCHOOL >>>

Since 1956, Woodland Presbyterian School has strived to teach the whole child: academically, spiritually (Christ centered), creatively, socially, and emotionally. While academics are the primary focus, students are also prepared to be productive members of society.

A co-educational environment prepares Woodland students to work with, solve problems with, and communicate with people that think

differently, process information differently, and interact differently than themselves. Coeducation encourages collaboration among girls and boys where students are exposed to a “realworld environment”.

Embracing academic excellence, spiritual development, social consciousness, community collaboration, and a positive self-concept is Woodland’s mission for each child.
