Force of will. Perseverance.
Tom Suddes | November 14, 2008
I was with Dick Celeste and Steve Elder at Colorado College last week. (It reminded me that they are still two of the ‘coolest’ dudes around.) Steve took me on a tour of the new Edith Kinney Gaylord Cornerstone Arts Center. It absolutely knocked my proverbial socks off! It’s a Predock designed building. It’s unique, crazy, innovative and much more. Students love it. It’s inner-disciplinary. It’s just a WOW!
I know that Dick basically “willed” this Center to happen. And I know that Steve never gave up on obtaining the lead gift and the remainder of the funding.
Force of will. Perseverance. Huge success.
