Title	Holmes, Ann (1922-2008)
Abstract	Ann Holmes started her career as a volunteer at the Museum and Miller Theater. Seeing a criticism in the newspaper she thought was wrong, she decided to find a place to give her voice. She joined the Houston Chronicle in 1942, and worked for 40 years becoming its Fine arts editor and Chief critic, and helped shape the culture and arts of Houston. Ann Holmes covered the Alley Theater, Houston Ballet and the Houston Grand Opera. During the years at the Chronicle, she studied Music theory and criticism and wrote plays. She was very adventurous and was a fabulous sailor. Ann Holmes died at the age of 86 in 2008.
