The Creative Legacy

The Creative Legacy
Descendants of Thomas Hastings

We are concerned here with descendants who were creative themselves and who made a lasting and positive impact in their chosen field.  There are many more descendants who have been involved in the nurturing and preservation of such works and they also deserve their due.  Some of the more outstanding descendants in this category are: Leonard Hastings Schoff (art collector & Smithsonian patron), Peter Hastings Falk (art scholar & appraiser), and Kimo Wilder McVay (talent manager for singers such as Don Ho).
