Mr. Sanders thumbnail Bio:
Mr. Sanders was born July 17, 1927 in Krum, Texas and had been a resident of Pampa since 1951. He married Juanita Robertson on June 28, 1948 in Weatherford, Texas. He was a veteran of the U. S. Navy, serving during World War II and the Korean Conflict. He worked for Southwestern Bell Telephone for 35 years, retiring in 1978. Mr. Sanders was a local artist, specializing in bronze sculpture. One of his major accomplishments was the "Passing of Honor," a national monument sculpture for the Battle of Shiloh, Tennessee. In 1982, his art work, "After the Storm," appeared on the cover of the Southwestern Bell magazine, and, in 1984, he was invited by Southwest Art Magazine to show at Chatsworth Castle in England. He sculpted "Grandfather's Vision" which is located in Dr. Von E. Brunow Park in downtown Pampa. Mr. Sanders was a member of the Pampa Fine Arts Association, Amarillo Fine Arts Association, the Cowboy Artists Association, and he was a recipient of two Golden Nail Awards.
