Kemp Carroll Gatling, a former Baltimore hotelman who during his long career managed such well-known hostelries as the Emerson, the Lord Baltimore and the Stafford, died Saturday of a stroke at Greater Baltimore Medical Center. He was 89 and lived in Rodgers Forge. During his 46-year career in the hotel business, Mr. Gatling combined genuine Southern hospitality with an unflappable disposition and willingness to please guests, whether the prominent or just ordinary travelers.

In a hot and dusty Iraqi town this year, Sgt. 1st Class Frederick Gatling, a newlywed, would often find himself in the middle of nowhere, eagerly awaiting a package from an unlikely source: Mary E. Rodman Elementary School in West Baltimore. Usually, the packet contained handwritten letters, scrawled in earnest by caring, curious fourth- and fifth-graders in Kevin Forman and Dorothy McManus' classrooms. One happy day, the package was filled with chocolate chip cookies and cherry Kool-Aid.

As the great Baltimore hotel debate continues, Kemp C. Gatling, 85, of Rodgers Forge, thinks back to the glory days when he managed the Hotel Emerson, whose lobby always seemed to be filled with celebrities, politicians and sports teams.Gatling, who began his hotel career in 1927 as an "elevator boy" at the Monticello Hotel in Norfolk, Va., recently recalled one of his first celebrity assignments there handling the luggage of Harry K. Thaw, the Pittsburgh millionaire who created a turn-of-the-century sensation when he murdered society architect Stanford White.

COLLEGE PARK -- Sophomore guard Gary Neal lobbed his right-handed, driving layup over Gwynn Park's 6-foot-9 Sharrod Ford with 5.5 seconds left to lift seventh-ranked Aberdeen to a 50-48 Class 2A state championship victory last night. A three-point attempt by the Yellow Jackets' Seth Mitchell banked away at the buzzer, sending Aberdeen's bench into a wild celebration at the University of Maryland's Cole Field House.
