Helen and Elgin Brooks were strong supporters of the Toledo Museum of Art from the days of Otto Wittmann. This was reflected in their long-held membership in the Museum and its Apollo Society, as well as generous contribution to the Museum's last capital campaign. Inspired by their travels, they had a particular fondness for Asian art. The Museum and we have lost an extraordinary friend.

Mrs. Helen Brooks was one of the most amazing women I have had the pleasure of working for at The Univ. of Toledo. She was not only a pioneer for women in the field of astronomy, she was one of the most decent and upstanding women I have had the pleasure to meet. Her loss will be felt by all who knew her, and especially the Dept. of Phys. & Astr. at The Univ. of Toledo.
