New Orleans residents, Rudolf Hecht and his wife Lynne Watkins Hecht traveled in the business and social circles of the rich and powerful. They were also international travelers who applied their impressions of a foreign culture to their Gulf Coast landscape and created Middlegate Japanese Gardens. The Hecht's gardens symbolized their good fortune, illustrated the design influences of the rich, and served as cultural ambassadors both on the Gulf Coast and internationally. There has been a fair amount of writings surrounding the Middlegate Japanese Gardens of Pass Christian and Margaret Ann Legett has researched extensively as noted in her Thesis of 2004. Substantial credit is given to her for her well authored manuscript from which copious information was derived.

Dan Ellis - A Sketch Originally from New Orleans, in 1990, Ellis established permanent residence at his Pass Christian weekend home. His interest in writing lead to publishing vignette columns in local newspapers. Upon researching for his first community heritage book, he realized that a significant amount of misinformation abounded. This resulted in his seeking primary source information from archival records in Mobile, Alabama, Jackson, Mississippi, New Orleans, Louisiana, and from local courthouses and churches. Ellis's books are filled with treasured photographs and maps; and he takes special effort to seek out individuals, whether obscure or prominent - those who can add a touch of personal experience by revealing anecdotal interviews. Not being able to find a publisher, Ellis was determined to get his history books to the general public, so he learned to be a self-publisher and now distributes his history books through bookstores and gift shops and the Internet. He also publishes much information to his several web sites providing free access to information and photographs. Ellis's books are computerized in order to enable easy updating and error corrections. More than twenty books are published through Amazon Books. He calls himself an Historiographer and Scrutinier, which simply translates to a "writer of history with authenticity." Besides writing and updating his more than twenty published books, Ellis captures his own photographs that go to print and are found on his many internet domains and on Social Media pages.
