Inscription
"Rarely in Life does one encounter someone who has changed the World. Duncan was one of those people - a brilliant man with the courage and leadership ability required to weave competing groups into a tapestry of common good in support of the Arts. Persons with Mental and/or Physical Disabilities, the Humanities, and many other areas. Duncan had a Servant's Heart, and it manifested itself in all that he touched." - Jon Grant
