Sixth Annual Heritage Dinner
Honoring Charles Mallory Graciela Iturbide:
Photographs
September 21, 2019 Organized by the Wittliff Collections, Texas State University
Charles Mallory continued a Connecticut family his-
tory in the shipping industry dating back to 1816,
when he co-founded one of the nations’ leading ship-
ping brokerage firms, MJLF, in 1979. In his 30 years
with the Stamford, Connecticut-based company, he
brokered the sale, purchase and charter of some of
the world’s largest tankers.
In 1999, he fulfilled a life-long dream of being in
the hotel and restaurant business when he founded
the Greenwich Hospitality Group, GHG, which owns
and operates boutique hotels and restaurants in and
around Connecticut. In the Big Bend region, Charles
owns the Holland Hotel and Maverick Inn in Alpine
and the Hotel Limpia in Fort Davis.
Since investing in the area, he has been a steadfast
supporter of the Museum of the Big Bend and Sul
Ross State University. Museum of the Big Bend Her-
itage Award recognizes those whose contributions
help tell the story of the Big Bend for generations to
come. Past recipients include Victor J. Smith, Miriam
and Emmett McCoy, Leighton and Jim Donnell, Jane
and Al Micallef and Family and John Poindexter. The
Heritage Dinner is hosted by the Gage Hotel at the
Ritchey Brothers Building in Marathon.
