"Grant grasped what made ThinkQuest unique, believed deeply in the value of the collaborations it spawned - between children, among countries - and in the magic of its ability to use technology to motivate children to engage in their own education. Grant also understood what made the ThinkQuest community so special and had the gifts to build and nurture that community. His patience, his charm, his dogged determination, and most important, his unfailing belief in the goodness of people made him the perfect maestro of this fascinating symphony that is ThinkQuest."
