Southwestern Historical Quarterly
the Frontier Experience, z8oo-z195, published last year by the Uni-
versity of New Mexico Press. The award includes a plaque, a sum for
personal use, and $1,000 for future research. Our congratulations, and
our best wishes for Sandra's continuing cross-cultural work on fron-
tier women.
A. M. Pate, Jr., life member and benefactor of the Association, was
honored on May 5 as Fort Worth's outstanding citizen for 1982. Aggie
was feted at the fifty-fourth annual Golden Deeds Award Banquet,
sponsored by the Exchange Club of Fort Worth, in recognition of
his many civic and philanthropic activities. Chairman and chief execu-
tive officer of Texas Refinery Corporation, Aggie has a long and im-
pressive record of accomplishments. The program for the banquet
offers a "partial list" of Aggie's honors and leadership positions, any
few of which would recommend him as a person of outstanding
achievement. That the list runs to two long columns speaks much
about the considerable time and energy Aggie has invested in his com-
munity. A director of the Texas Historical Foundation, president of
the Tarrant County Historical Society, president of the Fort Worth
Museum of Science and History, director of the Fort Worth Zoological
Association, trustee of Texas Christian University, senior trustee of
Austin College-the account of service rendered goes on and on, as
do the honors, which include a brotherhood citation from the National
Conference of Christians and Jews and three honorary doctorates.
Aggie's wide-ranging interests have benefitted the community in
other ways as well. A music lover, he has brought to Fort Worth the
orchestras of such leaders as Tex Beneke, Guy Lombardo, Harry
James, and Wayne King. In addition to his large music library, Aggie
and his wife Joyce also collect books. They have donated to TCU
their collections on U.S. presidents and vice-presidents, and to Austin
College their collection of Texana. The Pate Museum of Transporta-
tion, opened in 1969, has entertained over one million visitors. Gen-
erous friends to the TSHA, Aggie and his wife on several occasions
have hosted annual-meeting contingents of Junior Historians, treating
groups of up to eleven hundred with barbeque dinners at the museum.
It is with sincere pleasure that we add our congratulations to those al-
ready extended, and offer our own thanks to Aggie for his tremendous
contributions of talent and industry.

Museum of New Mexico, is guest curator of the current exhibit on80o
