GMUG is Dedicated to Jim Whitney
|
From the beginning, Jim was a great supporter of GMUG, both from a planning and financial standpoint. Being modest, Jim insisted that he not be given the public credit he deserved, so most had no idea he was involved. When I needed some ideas about what we should do at GMUG or what he thought was a good idea and would work, I called or emailed Jim. He was my "behind the scenes" advisor.
|
And, Jim was the one who funded a great deal of what we did. We had kind of an informal agreement that I would let him know what our financial needs were. Without any credit, he often came up with the money that made GMUG happen. Without Jim’s generosity and his support of the ukulele community, GMUG would not have happened. Jim passed away shortly after Thanksgiving in 2017. It is way overdue to publicly say, "thanks Jim! We miss you!" - Tony Anthonisen
