Carl Mullis honored at Emory as distinguished alum

We've been a little light with the blogging lately (busy busy!), but we would be remiss not to call your attention to this small photo set on our Flickr page that documents Emory University's honoring of Carl Mullis, the chair of GMOA's Board of Advisors, as a distinguished alumnus of that institution. You can find more details here. We already know what an asset Carl is, but it was nice to see him recognized in a larger forum.

Our Condolences

Paul R. Jones, a member of GMOA's Board of Advisors and a noted collector of African American art, passed away Tuesday in Atlanta, at the age of 81. As this obituary from the Birmingham News points out, he was ranked among the top 100 collectors in the United States, and he donated a large portion of that collection to the University of Alabama in 2008. We send our heartfelt expressions of sadness to his family and note that he will certainly be missed.
