Museum it has been my great delight to learn how the 

 teamwork of volunteers and supervisors has contrib- 

 uted so much to Field Museum's being recognized as 

 one of the great natural history museums in the world. 



Robert A. Pritzker, chairman of the Board of 

 Trustees, thanked the volunteers for their dedication 

 and service, pointing out that the volunteers are 

 essential to the Museum's successful operation. 



During the presentation of awards, Willard L. 

 Boyd, president of Field Museum, expressed apprecia- 

 tion for the volunteer's contributions last year. Mr. 

 Boyd noted that in 1988, 348 volunteers gave a total 

 of 44,298 hours of service to the Museum, the equiva- 

 lent of 24-3 full-time paid staff members. Comment- 

 ing that the volunteers' commitment is enduring, Mr. 



Boyd presented the twenty-year service award of 

 appreciation to Marie Louise Rosenthal. The award 

 was an engraved crystal box from Tiffany's, endowed 

 by William L. Searle, a trustee of the Museum. Mrs. 

 Rosenthal joined four other volunteers who had re- 

 ceived the Searle award at last year's twentieth 

 anniversary volunteer recognition party. Mr. Boyd 

 urged the other volunteers to stay for twenty years so 

 that they, too, could receive this special honor. In the 

 next portion of the program Mr. Boyd gave special 

 recognition to ten volunteers. These were the five 

 weekday volunteers with the greatest number of hours 

 of service in 1988, and the five weekend volunteers 

 with the greatest number of hours of service in 1988.

Recipient of Searle Award in 1989: 

 Marie Louise Rosenthal 



Since August 1969 Marie Louise has contributed her time 

 and talents to Field Museum. Over the past twenty years she 

 has been involved with the Library, under the supervision of 

 William Fawcett and Ken Grabowski. Marie Louise's 

 volunteer service has related primarily to the conservation of 

 valuable library materials. Her duties have included repair 

 worl< and oiling of bindings, and she is currently making 

 boxes for works that are too fragile to be rebound. She is the 

 fifth volunteer to achieve the 20-year distinction, joining Stan 

 Dvorak. Ellen Hyndman, Dorothy Karall, and Anne Ross, 

 honored last year as the charter members of the volunteers' 

 "Twenty-Year Club." In addition to her excellent work in the 

 Library, Marie Louise is a member of Field Museum's 

 Women's Board.
