Bozeman widow continues operating husband’s Bozeman, Montana American Computer & Robotics Museum

Barbara Keremedjiev suffered a terrible blow when her husband George Keremedjiev died unexpectedly after heart surgery in November.

“After the initial shock . I thought, what am I going to do?” Barbara said.

Leave Bozeman? Go live near the grandkids?

Despite her shock and grief, she quickly decided she would stay and fight to sustain and expand her husband’s creation — the American Computer & Robotics Museum.

On Jan. 2, she reopened the free, nonprofit museum, which had been closed since her husband’s death Nov. 17.

“This museum has to be a living legacy to George,” said Barbara, 63.
