This letterbox honors Georgia O’Keeffe, an artist who drew inspiration from the wide open spaces of the Texas panhandle, and the colors and light of Palo Duro Canyon. To start your search, go to the biography page on the website of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum (http://www.okeeffemuseum.org/biography.html). Use the information on that page to solve the following puzzle, which will give you the call number for a book in the “loan shelves” section of the Cornette Library at West Texas A&M University (http://www.wtamu.edu/library). Find the book with that call number (or if it is checked out, find the space where the book would be). Directly below that spot, look under the lowest shelf that holds books. There you’ll find the letterbox. Although the library staff are aware of the letterbox, please be discreet in order to protect its hiding place!
To find the call number, fill in these blanks:
____ First letter of the month of O’Keefe’s birth
____ First letter inside the parentheses of her “Untitled” work that won the 1908 William Merritt Chase still-life prize.
____ 3rd digit of the year in which she married Alfred Stieglitz
____ Number of years after Stieglitz’s death that she moved to New Mexico
____ Last digit in the year of her birth
____ Insert a decimal point here
____ 3rd digit in the years during which she studied at the Art Institute of Chicago
____ Last digit in the year she graduated high school
____ Second letter in the first name of the love of her life
____ Last digit of the day of her birth
____ Last digit of the first year in which she studied at the Art Students League, New York
____ Year of her death (all four digits)
