Bob Burkholder - 1993
Bob was a graduate of Barstow High School. He came to Sul Ross in the fall of 1948 both as a football player and as a rodeo team member. He was a member of the T Association (Athletics), the Clip-N-Brand and the Sul Ross Rodeo Association.
In March 1950 he competed in the NIRA Rodeo at Sul Ross and placed in the Bull Dogging and Calf Roping. In April 1950 he entered all events except bull riding at the Cow Palace in San Francisco and was on the National Championship Team.
Bob first started donating to the University Rodeo Program in 1977, and in 1982 started contributing $2500 per year. In 1984 he prevailed upon Anheuser Bush, Inc. to match his donation which was continued to date. With the 1992 gift of $5,000, the total amount is $53,500.
Induction into the Hall of Fame is the highest honor which can be bestowed on an individual by the ANRS & Rodeo Exes Association. This honor is for ANRS graduates or friends and recognizes those who have represented the Association, the ANRS Department, or Sul Ross State University with distinction through their personal and/or professional achievements which brought honor to our University. Nominations may be submitted by any member at any time. The ANRS & Rodeo Exes Board of Directors will periodically review nominations and determines inductees into the Hall of Fame. Inductions are not necessarily held annually, but rather when a sufficient pool of inductees is obtained. The induction ceremony is at the Annual Reunion held the last weekend of July in Alpine.
Make a nomination for a deservation individual for induction into the ANRS & Rodeo Exes Hall of Fame!
There is certainly room among these fine individuals for additional honorees. Please give some consideration to nominating a deserving individual for induction into the Hall of Fame.
