OUR CITY’S CLASSROOM. A PLACE OF WONDER AND DELIGHT. CHANGING THE WORLD ONE MUSEUM VISITOR AT A TIME. 5 Dear SAMA Friends, Last year we worked to achieve our goal to be the city’s premier cultural institution. This ambition begins with our strengths. We have an outstanding collection that spans the globe and five millennia—the only museum of its kind in the region. We have an incomparable campus on the San Antonio River. And we anchor a downtown neighborhood that is transforming itself into a dynamic place for living, working and playing. When I look back at the principal exhibitions of last year, they reflect, in many ways, our vision for the Museum: Picasso’s Guernica tapestry (historic, important, singular); Adad Hannah (innovative, outspoken, provocative); SAMA Collects Contemporary (locally and nationally significant); Aphrodite (beautiful, timeless, in the company of our peers MFA Boston and the Getty). Life is better in a city with great museums, and we strive to build a great art museum in every way. Last year we expanded our collections, membership, funding, key staff and educational outreach, and we deepened our presence in the community, region and country. We want everyone to know us, not just as a repository of great art, but as a delightful place to visit. During our free hours on Tuesday evenings, when upwards of 500 people stream through our doors (thanks to support from H-E-B), SAMA reaches the broadest cross-section of our community—something we are strongly committed to doing. In 2011, a generous grant from the Mays Family Foundation allowed us to increase our free hours to include Sunday mornings. We also changed our admission policy on other days so that children 12 and under are always free. As part of our mission, we expanded our education department and increased Photo by Iris Dimmick the resources devoted to K-12 students and teachers. We initiated ground- breaking partnerships with several under-served schools across the city. In the process, we have broken the mold and created original programming that engages students and their families, with the goal of creating lifelong learners and museum-goers. Not only is SAMA essential to our city and its people, we also aspire to be a must-visit site—right up there with the Alamo—for the many tourists who visit San Antonio every year. We have much more to accomplish, but our vision is strong, and we are excited about the future. Katherine C. Luber, Ph.D. The Kelso Director 6 HIGHLIGHTS: THE YEAR IN NUMBERS The San Antonio Museum of Art… Presented 17 special exhibitions Took more than 700 photographs of the collections for publications that include 2 new Arte Kids children’s books, 1 major exhibition Welcomed 86,394 visitors catalogue and a new 220-page Guide to the Collection 19,716 attended Free Tuesdays (23% of total attendance) 1,637 enjoyed the new Mays Family Foundation Free Sundays Delivered and received art to and from 9 states and 6 countries Increased the Annual Fund by 60% Received 7 works loaned by the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, Italy, to Aphrodite and the Gods of Love Increased membership by 22% Redesigned the Museum website, producing a 44% rise in unique visitors Attracted 423 members and guests at inaugural Destination Paris event Attracted 11,313 Facebook followers, a 28% increase over the previous year Presented 317 programs and events, a 50% increase Merited 2 mentions in The New York Times Attracted 1,623 visitors to concerts and musical performances Doubled SAMA Shop locations by introducing an exhibition shop for Educated 8,268 students on school tours Aphrodite and the Gods of Love Attracted 4,593 parents and kids to First Sundays for Families Increased SAMA Shop revenue by 14% Enriched 248 educators through teacher workshops Dispatched 1,572 rental bikes from our B Station Partnered with Good Samaritan Community Services Center to pro- duce a student-executed 70-foot mural Brought SAMA on the Go! workshops to 1,521 kindergarten through sixth grade students Launched “San Antonio is Your Classroom” pilot program with P16Plus, introducing more than 50 elementary school students and their fami- lies to Ancient Egyptian culture Benefited from the dedication of 150 volunteers and trained 19 new docents Celebrated 5 employees with 20+ years of service Added 195 works of art and accepted gifts of art from 14 donors GREAT VARIETY FOR YOUR ITINERARY We walked to SAMA from our hotel on the River Walk, which made for a very enjoyable stroll (although you could take a River taxi right to the entrance if you are on the River Walk). Admission was free since it was a Sunday morning, and we jumped into a docent-led tour that was just starting when we arrived. The museum has a surprisingly large and interesting array of classical ancient art and ancient Chinese art, but the modern Hispanic art alone would have been worth the trip. —TripAdvisor 9 VOTING TRUSTEES LIFE TRUSTEES Martha S.

    ASHRAE – HOUSTON (Formally South Texas) CHAPTER HISTORY - TO DATE By Bruce Flaniken Historian Emeritus October 26, 2013 (Previous authors/contributors included Clarence Fleming, Bruce Flaniken, Henry C. (Hank) Fry, Pat Powell, Neil Silverman and Chase Williamson) Contributions by the Houston & Texas Area to Region VIII HVAC&R Industry The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc., is celebrating its 119 th Anniversary and the Houston Chapter its 74 th Anniversary this year (2013). As you may imagine, the main interest a hundred years ago was HEATING, then VENTILATION, REFRIGERATION and with AIR CONITIONING dead last since there was no air conditioning at that point in time, except for ventilating breezes through open windows in rooms with high ceilings.. Heating was done by wood burning fireplaces which were replaced with cast iron radiant stoves burning wood and/or coal. As man became more and more concentrated into cities the need to control fire became ever more important, so steam boilers came into vogue for heating buildings. Steam boilers are typically large massive arrangements that require skilled operators so the 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd Class Operating Stationary Engineers licenses were brought into being to keep large boiler installations under safe control and operation. Refrigeration was primarily a northern industry from frozen ponds and rivers in the more northern states, being harvested, stored and sold during warmer weather. River locations were used to provide rotating power from water wheel type of mills to machine shops in order to get the required motive power for rotating mechanisms prior to steam and electricity.
