Pollard is the father of two Wahoos. His oldest daughter, Beeza, graduated from the University of Virginia’s School of Nursing in 2020. A younger daughter, Meg, will be a first-year student this fall.
Beeza and Meg were Pollard’s inspiration for his latest design: a miniature version of the most iconic spot on Grounds.
Over the course of six hours on July 18 at Emerald Isle, North Carolina, Pollard, relying on just a few tools and some assistance from Meg, crafted a replica of the Rotunda and six pavilions – with three on each side of a wide open space that represents the Lawn.
