Patrons and the arts
I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in a family and living in communities that valued arts and culture. My grandfather, Philip Patrick Murphy, was a musician and music educator, settling post-WWII in Windsor, Ontario. My brother and I, as boys, spent many summers on his coat tails, as he went from rehearsals, to concerts, with the many bands that he directed, both in Windsor and Detroit.
