Sculpture by Sarah Peters Presented
May 8, 2006

On May 8, 2006, representatives of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History gathered to honor the late Mrs. Ann Hooks. Many members of Ann's family, along with several friends, were also present. The Museum Guild hosted a luncheon which recognized the contributions and legacy of Ann, who donated thirty-two years of volunteer service to the museum during her lifetime. As a part of Ann's memorial gift to the museum, "The Alphabet Chair" sculpture by Sarah Peters was presented. Ann's grandson Matthew unveiled the sculpture, which was greatly admired and appreciated by all who knew and loved Ann. Museum Director Van Romans spoke about how much Ann wanted to encourage the arts and education through her gift to the museum. There was no doubt in anyone's mind that Ann's gift will do that and more for many years to come.

"The Alphabet Chair" sculpture will have a temporary home at the museum for the next year until construction begins on the new $65 million museum building, which will be built on the same site. Once the new building is complete, a permanent location for the sculpture will be decided upon.
