"...in my estimation you were always a perfect gentleman and kind to all alike.  How well I remember the men who came into our offices.  It mattered not-whether the high or lowly they were all treated with the same courtesy.  To me that has meant a lot."  Ellen Smith, in a letter to Fabian Garcia dated- June 14, 1948
"For me there is no person in this country that I admire and truly believe is the greatest man of our day like you my much beloved friend. [I feel] honored because we have one of our own blood that has been able to rise to such a prominent position.  Oh that many others will follow in your footsteps...But that is impossible, because there is only one Fabian Garcia!" Fabiola- May 9, 1943
Drawings made by Garcia during his experimentation to produce the first commercially viable chiles in the Mesilla Valley.
A friend once told Garcia, "Living in the midst of natural loveliness and grandeur, you have acquired a depth of thought and aspiration which New Mexican society could ill do without."
In a May 4, 1943 letter Garcia's brother-in-law J.E. Amador wrote, " Well, I conclude, congratulating you again and wishing you more honors as deserved by persons such as yourself, of which there are few in the world (perfect in everything.)"
