It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear friend and fellow Emeritus Board Member and past Vice-Chair of the Board, Andy Thompson. Andy served on our Board from 1998 through 2017, and he has stayed committed to our Museum ever since. In Andy's nearly twenty years of service to the Museum, he was nothing short of incredible. We are immensely grateful for his outstanding leadership, wisdom, and friendship. He will be greatly missed by the Museum, as well as our entire community.

Our hearts go out to board member Lou Martin who lost her husband Nick Martin earlier this week. Nick was a long-time supporter of the Museum and beloved member of the Fort Worth Community. The Martin's generosity towards the Museum and other local non-profits is truly unparalleled. Nick's memory will live on through his work and devotion to making Fort Worth a better place for all.
