Thomas Nee may have left the Twin Cities more than 40 years ago, but his legacy continues. He co-founded the Minnesota Opera in 1963, and was an assistant conductor to Antal Dorati back when the Minnesota Orchestra was still the Minneapolis Symphony.
Mr. Nee died last week at age 87. Read more about him here.
