Ed White and Brenda Fortunate

When Brenda Fortunate chose to purchase a seat in the FIA Theater, its meaning was twofold. The seat not only represented many of the couple’s date nights spent watching thought-provoking selections from the FOMA Film Series; it was also a symbol of their relationship. Celebrating their anniversary by surprising her husband, Ed White, and contributing to the FIA made perfect sense to Brenda. They see the museum as their special place. As Ed remarked, “This is what happens when a Tennessee guy meets a Michigan girl.”
