My Aunt Polly Logan was my father’s sister. She was the kindest person to any and everyone and had a lovely southern way about her. She loved entertaining and going to Washington parties in her beautiful gowns and was a Washington beauty with her red hair. She married three times and lived to age 90. Her her second husband, Robert Guggenheim and third husband, John A Logan, Jr., worshipped her.
However, her mission in life was to care for her son, Richard VanLennep, who was autistic. She searched for a “cure” for him her whole life. Upon Polly’s death, I became Richard’s guardian and he is presently 75 years old, now blind, but in otherwise good health. I still miss my Aunt Polly.

It is so sad to see there is little information about Polly. I had the opportunity to work for her as her personal accountant in 1981 & 1982. She was such a lovely person. She loved life and she was so full of life. I think she was in her 80′s at that time. She love the Kennedy Center and was a faithful donor. She loved dancing and music. She actively supported the Art Barn in Rockcreek Park. We figured we were some distant relation. Her family came from the Payne’s of Virginia, as I. She always wanted to sponsor me to join DAR. When I came to work for her, Mr Logan had had a stroke and wasn’t able to attend all the functions with her by then. Her husband was as difficult as she was delightful person. That was the reason I left. I wish more people that knew better than I would add more information about her.

My mother, Beverly Pollard Page, is Mrs. Logan’s neice. As a child we visited “Aunt Polly” (Rebecca Pollard Guggenheim Logan) in Washington DC and her donated sapphire at the museum.
