Honoring those who have served and sacrificed
Through the unique artistry of beaded tapestries
September 10, 2025: Tandy Executive Speaker Series​
Guest speaker Chris Cassidy, CEO of the National Medal of Honor Museum (MOH) inspired attendees with his remarks about his own leadership journey, and the meaning of the recently opened MOH Museum in Arlington, TX. An image of the Thankful Generations tapestry of Major Horace Carswell Jr. was shown. Carswell, a posthumous Medal of Honor recipient for his bravery and ultimate sacrifice during WWII, was a proud member of the TCU Class of 1939.
It was an unforgettable event that celebrated bravery, art, and history!



Sneak peek at the theme for my next tapestry, based on this photograph of the USS Georgia, delivered to the US Navy by Bath Iron Works in 1904.
I especially love the small fishing boat in the foreground, no doubt on the Kennebec River as the ship sails off into the Gulf of Maine!
