El Paso/Trans-Pecos (915) 532-9645 We believe that the reception at Bass Hall is a “perfect” location for a Fort Worth celebration especially because of your influence on the building through (817) 283-3707 the murals. We hope that you will both be able to attend this event as honored guests. Frontera Weslaco (956) 968-3275 We just had a planning meeting today and - among other things - we Golden Triangle discussed your letter and the traveling exhibit of your art work.

Huntsville We are thrilled at the prospect of having a picture of Texas birds to (409) 294-0666 commemorate the centennial and to debut it at the reception at Bass Hall on March 5th - if you have the time to undertake this. We would also want Lubbock (806) 797-6690 to make posters from the original for the benefit of Texas Audubon.

Prairie & Timbers McKinney (972) 424-9786 portfolio “of Birds and Texas” and it would be wonderful if a book might Rio Brazos College Station (409) 696-8601 be available to travel with the exhibit - or if that is too difficult so soon - to publicize/preview it at the celebration. Amarillo (806) 655-0875 We will be auctioning items off at the reception in March - for example - Travis “The Ultimate Texas Birding Trip” which will be offered on Audubon’s Austin (512) 926-8751 behalf by Victor Emmanuel.
