Gus Lindquist

Getting it done is simply what Woody Allen said it was: 90% of success is showing up and doing it. You don’t talk about doing something, you do something and talk about it. It either grows or it doesn’t, and it will grow if it serves the needs or wants of others. Gus has done and grown many, many things — and he’ll share some of the wisdom gained — and still being gained – along that varied and wonderful track record.

A longtime friend of ECS, Hilding “Gus” Lindquist lives in Maplewood. Gus worked as a research data administrator and, for over twenty years, worked developing administrative computer programs. He draws on life experiences from developing administrative systems for a diverse set of organizations. He has also devoted many years to social activism. Since retiring a few years back, he has turned to creating cultural programs dealing with art, music, drama, and poetry.
