Many reasons to give thanks

I am thankful first of all for my grandparents and parents.

Although they are no longer here, they left me with a heritage of

faith in God.

I am thankful for being so very blessed with a kind and loving

husband.

I am thankful for the gift of wonderful, caring children followed by

awesome grandchildren, who fill me with never-ending wonderment.

All are gifts from God, so great and so unique that they make all else

in life seem small and insignificant. I feel very loved, fortunate,

grateful and extremely thankful.

As the departing director of education at the Orange County Museum of

Art, I’d like to give thanks to the wonderful staff, dedicated

volunteers, inquisitive children and terrific museum supporters and

friends in this community who have made the last 12 years at the museum

such a joy.

I hope that I have taught you a little about the stimulating insights

and visual pleasures that can be gained through an understanding of the

arts.

I know that you have taught me a great deal about how a supportive

community can make an institution thrive and come alive for all of its

citizens.
