As a volunteer in the Columbus Museum of Art’s cafe during the 1990s, Peggy Walter served soups and salads.

Yesterday, she and her husband, Robert D., served up something a bit more substantial: a $10 million gift to the museum, the largest single financial donation in the institution’s 128-year history.

The Dublin couple’s contribution will substantially increase the museum’s endowment for operations."
