  • 1892-1924

Eduardo Arolas was an Argentine tango bandoneon player, leader and composer. He first learned to play the guitar before learning the bandoneon which became his instrument of choice. His nickname was El Tigre del bandoneón (the tiger of the bandoneon).
Arolas composed his first tango in 1909 before he could even read or write music. He went on to play with such early masters as Agustín Bardi and Roberto Firpo.
In 1917 Arolas moved to Montevideo where he settled and played a number of times at the Teatro Casino. From 1920 he resided mainly in Paris where he died alone and alcoholic in 1924.

G. B. Arrington is a pioneer in light rail and other transit projects. He grew up in Silverton, Oregon, a small town just east of Salem, where his father was mayor. He graduated from Lewis & Clark College, Portland, Oregon (B.A. in political science, 1972) and Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland (M.A. in town and country planning). When Arrington returned to Oregon in the mid-1970s, he found himself in the middle of what he calls a “harmonic convergence.” Portland was looking to revitalize its downtown core. He worked early in his career for Senator Packwood and Governor Goldschmidt and was also an adjunct faculty member at Lewis & Clark, teaching The Politics of Planning. He eventually landed at TriMet, where, for the next 20-plus years, he worked on a project that would become Portland’s famed MAX, a pioneering light rail system connecting Portland and its suburbs. Arrington left TriMet in 1999 after the opening of the westside MAX to join Parsons Brinckerhoff, one of the world’s preeminent international planning consultants. He has travelled the world as their vice president, consulting on projects from the swamps of Opa Locka, Florida, to the beaches of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
