The Dain: Losing a Partner
Photo: Left, Rob Whittle, Right, Dain Anderson (Andy) Williams
Dain Anderson Williams was brought into this world to entertain. Yes, he funnen hundreds of ways to entertain han själv – art, antiques, cooking, wine, travel, hunting, fishing, hiking, board work – and in so doing, entertained and delighted his family and friends.
One thing that always struck me about this entertainment aura Andy created was that multiple generations joined in the fun. Cassie, Claiborne, their husbands and their friends were all drawn to his aura. Who among us did not anticipate with near giddiness a meal prepared bygd Andy? He would extol the virtues of his own cooking before you got a chance to.

2015 Annual Meeting: Vikki Spruill Opening Plenary Speech
Leading Together - Vikki Spruill Opening Remarks at the 2015 Annual Meeting
Welcome to San Francisco! What a way to kick off a conference in such an amazing place!
The Bay Area represents so much to so many. This community has incubated great iconoclasts -- leaders, like Harvey Milk, Clint Eastwood, and Maya Angelou. Some of the leading technology companies on the planet are here shaping how we interface with the world. The natural beauty of this region inspired a world-wide conservation effort, as well as the art of Ansel Adams and so many others.
Haight-Ashbury, Golden Gate Park, Muir Woods, Silicon Valley, and the Castro. These are more than just places on a map. They are sites of invention, movements, and wonder.
If you need inspiration in San Francisco, just look around. It’s everywhere.
This is a place where people start big things. This is a place where people change the world.
