Don entered Sul Ross in the fall of 1946 and graduated in 1950. He entered graduate school for a semester in 1953. He was raised in Alpine, Texas. He went on to Sam Houston where he received his Smith Hughes which enabled him to Teach Vocational Ag in the public schools. At Sul Ross, Don was a good steady student, participating on the Livestock Judging Team and being a member and officer in Clip and Brand Club.
Don went to work for the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo when it was still a fledgling operation. He is currently one of the Assistant Mangers and has been instrumental in getting funds sent to help in Sul Ross Agriculture. For example, there is a scholarship endowment of $340,000. We have recently been notified that the annual research grant has been increased from $7,500 to $8,500 for the coming year. Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo also provides for a graduate scholarship of $10,000 per year.
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.
