Anthony Whetstone retired last spring.
Anthony Whetstone brought strength and brightness to his position at the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art for nearly 24 years. His commitment to the museum and to K-State is legendary, and we feel fortunate that we were colleagues for the past nine years.
Tony retired last spring after working at the Beach Museum of Art since its opening. From the start he forged strong relationships with many of the dedicated people who worked to make the museum possible, especially Ross and Marianna Beach. Through the years Tony cared for the museum building and its sensitive mechanical systems as though they were components of his own home. He held himself and the museum staff to the highest standards when it came to event setups, ADA compliance, fire code and more. He always wanted the museum to receive its guests with distinction.
We speak for both staff and Friends of the museum in saying this: We miss you Tony. We will not forget your exemplary service to the museum and the example you set. Thank you!
— Director Linda Duke and Assistant Director of Operations Robin Lonborg
