Walter Glendinning | Bonnie’s Dad and Inspiration
From Scotland, England, Bermuda, Canada, Michigan, then to Texas, my Dad led a charmed life filled with excited determination to see the world, pursue his dreams, create a family, and make many friends along the way. He was known for his intellect, philosophical pursuit, spiritual heart, poetry, stories, compassion, friendship, quick wit, and humor. He was always ready to listen with his heart and prepared with an eye-rolling pun to make you smile. Though Dad was a complete techno-phobe, he still knew what Facebook was—pretty impressive.
Dad died at age 77 suddenly in early 2009 to everyone’s surprise and sadness. While he is greatly missed, he did inspire my desire to pursue my own dreams, resulting in artmuse.com. Since Dad didn’t have a computer, I bet he would have gone over to his friend Lewis’s house to see the website and tell him to start Collecting Art! Thanks for everything Dad.
Grant McDaniels | Web Development | artmusemanager@gmail.com
Grant has a high aptitude for technology, anthropology, archaeology, statistics, travelling, writing, photography, and art. Though his parents were school teachers, they still made sure on every holiday break to take he and his brother travelling. By the time he was in college, Grant had seen more of the world than most do in a lifetime. Grant is someone that is highly investigative and capable of figuring out how things work. He was known among his fellow kindergardeners for taking “unbreakable” toys apart and putting them back together. As a broke college student, he figured out how to fix his car. In more recent years, he liked eating tech manuals for snacks and actually enjoyed reading them - when they were well written.
