We’re stillI at it 35 years later,” he says. “We have fun every day taking care of customers and trying to benefit the community.” Better known as “Mattress Mack,” McIngvale opened Gallery Furniture, now a major retailer, with just $5,000. After he crafted the signature tag line — “Gallery Furniture will save you money!” — business began to boom. Today, Gallery Furniture has expanded to three stores and includes a gigantic furniture warehouse. Yet one thing has remained the same throughout the years — McIngvale’s passion for giving back. Recently, he made a $500,000 gift to MD Anderson. “I first heard about MD Anderson while playing football for The University of Texas. Freddie Steinmark went there in 1969,” McIngvale recalls. “It was clear that MD Anderson was a very special place.” He credits the institution and John Stroehlein, M.D., chair ad interim, Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, for giving him more time with his father. “My father was diagnosed with liver cancer,” says McIngvale. “Dr. Stroehlein, along with Dr. Papadopoulos, helped him live an extra 20 years.” Over the years, McIngvale and Stroehlein have grown even closer, with Stroehlein treating many Gallery Furniture employees and even “Mattress Mack” himself. McIngvale’s gift will support two unique studies led by Stroehlein. The first clinical “MD Anderson is trial aims to understand the efficacy of domperidone, a drug used to relieve nausea. The second study dedicated to patients focuses on MD Anderson’s geriatric population. “Jim’s generosity knows no bounds,” says and to improvements in Stroehlein. “His compassion for helping others, health care. That’s what whether they be his own employees or complete strangers, will have an impact on cancer patients Houston is all about worldwide for years to come.” MD Anderson saves lives every day, says — helping people and McIngvale.

  • Harvey Havoc to Texas
    Harvey Havoc to Texas Harvey's havoc continued to pour down, three days after the storm rammed Texas as a Category 4 hurricane, unleashing a torrent of rain, turning streets into rivers, and leaving thousands of residents stranded in flooded homes. Harvey, a tropical storm by Tuesday morning with its eye hovering over the Gulf of Mexico, could still dump up to 15 inches of rain on portions of southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana, including the saturated Houston area, where thousands have been rescued and many more still wait for help. Headed east, the storm was due to dump more heavy rain across both states, worsening the "catastrophic and life-threatening" flooding situation, before making landfall again Wednesday morning, near the Texas-Louisiana border, according to CNN Weather Center. Louisiana braces for Harvey's rain Four people have died as a result of the catastrophic storm, and thousands of Texans are believed to have sat in darkness overnight Monday amid rising floodwaters. "The Coast Guard is continuing to receive upwards of 1,000 calls per hour," US Coast Guard Lt. Mike Hart said on Monday. The Coast Guard rescued more than 3,000 people on Monday, he said. Harvey is expected to retreat back to the Gulf of Mexico before heading back toward #Houston Wednesday. 5:47 PM - Aug 27, 2017 People have turned to the walkie-talkie a to report their dire situations: an elderly couple trapped on a roof; a family caught in the maelstrom with three children, including one in the throes of a seizure and another with autism.
