The Sunday Olympian’s Looking Back theme for 2024 was Many Voices, celebrating our diverse and rich history. John Grace was a cherished member of Olympia’s music-loving community. Blind from early childhood, Grace operated a piano tuning service for over five decades. He is shown here in this Daily Olympian article from 1964, early in his career.
