Renk, Merry and Curtis, Earle
Scope and content:

The Curtises were very close friends with Ruth and Albert. Merry Renk was a jewelsmith and artist, Earle Curtis was a potter and ceramicist. Although they shared a duplex with the Laniers in the early 1950s, they may have known each other before. Both were Alvarado artists-in-residence and worked creatively with Ruth. Renk exhibited with her in the "Four Artist-Craftsmen" show at the Museum of Art in 1954.
