Non Profit Organization U.S. Postage Paid Permit No. 1529 Salt Lake City, UT MEMORIALS It is with profound regret that the Museum notes the passing of long-time friends and supporters. Mr. Scharf S.Sumner and the late Mrs. Sumner were among the first members of the Friends of the Art Museum support .group for acquisitions. Until his death Mr. Sumner contmued as an annual supporter. The Walcott portrait illustrated in this issue was acquired in part with funds given by Mr. Sumner in honor of Mrs. Sumner. Mrs. Thomas (Becky) Jeremy was also in the first founding group of Friends of the Art Museum, and every year ~~e.reafter contributed ann~ally to the Friend's annual acqms1tton fund. We deeply rmss the friendship and support offered by Mr. Sumner and Mrs. Jeremy, as will many other Utah institutions. Another loss to the Museum and the community ~as the passing of Mrs. David (Gene) Quinney Wilder. Like other members of the Quinney family, Mrs. Quinney Wilder was a long-time supporter of Museum programs. Other Museum members remembered here are Adrienne Eskelson and Peggy Pollack.

This panel, like the two previous ones, hsts the donors who have contributed each year to the Annual Acquisitions Fund.
