“It’s just an honor to have a governor award a Sagamore of the Wabash to anyone,” Gentry said. “I felt very honored by the process and the experience, so just kind of coming off of Cloud Nine at this point. It’s just been kind of a whirlwind weekend, and lots of text messages and emails and well wishes, so it’s been a lot of fun.”
Gentry currently serves as the Executive Director of External Affairs for State Treasurer Daniel Elliott.
