"Ross Daniel Kinduell was an artist with a keen interest in preserving Covington, Kentucky's downtown neighborhoods. Mr. Kinduell was a longtime resident of Covington's Licking-Riverside neighborhood and had retired from The Kentucky Post as a graphic artist in the advertising department. He also left his mark as an artist with his personal artwork. He was a member of the Northern Kentucky Historical Society, Licking-Riverside Council, Carnegie Art Society, Northern Kentucky Arts Council and Golden Rule Masonic Lodge No. 345 F&AM. In 1997 the Northern Kentucky Heritage League presented a $500 grant to the Friends of Covington in Mr. Kinduell's name to help fund a beautification project that he developed for the Fourth Street bridge entrance to Covington. Mr. Kinduell brought the plans to life with an oil painting of the envisioned entrance, with lush trees and landscaping. "I admired him very much as an artist and as a friend," said Marjory Meanwell, a longtime neighbor. "He was dedicated to the neighborhood."Mr. Kinduell had a soft voice and a courtly manner. He enjoyed sharing his courtyard garden with friends on a spring evening, blowing perfect smoke rings and spinning tales, Ms. Meanwell said. He enjoyed the symphony, the arts and good company. He married three times and once dated Ted Turner's mother, Ms. Meanwell said. "He was a fascinating man," she said. Kinduell passed away in August 2000."
