My wife and I chose to make this gift to honor the memory of my father. Over the years, he attended many of his Class of 1947 on campus reunions, and I attended some with him. It was easy for me to see the genuine affection he felt for his classmates. As I grew up, he instilled in me the basic values of honesty and integrity he had learned at A&M. Besides providing a sound education, I believe A&M helped mold us into better men, and as the University continues to perform this service, I believe it is worth supporting financially.

I grew up in Coleman, a small town in West Texas. Although I had been to cities such as Dallas, Houston and Austin, attending Texas A&M really opened my eyes to the fact that there is a world outside of West Texas. I attended a program called Aggie on Wall Street which brings 20 students from the Mays College of Business to New York City for a three week program taught by Former Students. That experience changed my life forever. I was so impressed at how Former Students gave so unselfishly to teach students they had never met. If my donation helps change one life half as much as Texas A&M has changed mine, it will be well worth it. I hope other class members of the 90s will follow my lead and increase their giving to an institution that has positively shaped their lives.

College Station, TX
The Aggie Network gave John Matush a job opportunity before he had even graduated from Texas A&M University. Despite a pending military commitment, he interviewed with a major oil company executive—a fellow Aggie—and was offered a job at Texaco. He credits his rapid rise to success in the industry to his geological engineering degree from Texas A&M and leadership training from the Corps of Cadets.
His fondest memories include the Corps and the fellowship and friendships developed in his unit; however, the most memorable moments from his university days include meeting his wife, Sandy, and taking her to Ring Dance.
The couple—who are 38-year members of the Century Club—are strong believers in giving back and want to provide opportunities for students to attend the “best university in the nation and allow our school to have the funds to attract the best professors, to continue and grow the excellence which we have.” They established an Endowed Century Club gift over a period of five years to make a more significant impact at Texas A&M.
John retired as corporate chief geoscientist at Texaco in August 1994. He and Sandy have three children and nine grandchildren, and their Aggie legacy extends to John’s three siblings, one grandchild, and eight nieces and nephews.

Bluffton, SC
It is often said that time can make the heart grow fonder. While Gregory Martin’s heart has always been with Texas A&M, it wasn’t until his daughter chose to attend his alma matter that he was reconnected with the spirit that had once pulled him to campus.
Gregory Martin ’71 graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in management. As a student, he was a member of the Corps of Cadets in Company C-1, an experience which he would later cite as having a “profound impact” on his life. The first of these profound experiences came as a cadet during his fish year while attending his first Silver Taps ceremony. This memory marked the defining moment when Gregory knew he was attending “someplace special.”
After graduating from Texas A&M, Gregory found great success with the Baltimore Gas & Electric Company, spending over 30 years with the company before retiring. Despite his professional successes, Gregory’s Baltimore-based career put 1500 miles between his home and the place he had once called home. It was then that Gregory’s daughter, Ann ’12, chose to attend Texas A&M, a decision which started a spirited journey for Ann and rekindled a lost love for Gregory. Although he tried never to sway his daughter, the decision to attend Texas A&M made him “proud to say the least.” With Ann a student at Texas A&M, Gregory once again had a link to Texas A&M and a reason to make the 1500 mile journey to campus. Although decades separated their time at Texas A&M, the Aggie spirit had equal influence on both Ann and Gregory.
With his renewed connection to A&M, Gregory once again remembered the elements of Texas A&M that were sources of pride and gratitude to him. After contributing to the university for over 30 years, Gregory decided to become an Endowed Century Club member in an effort to provide the same positive experience at A&M for another deserving student. Ann, following in the footsteps of her father and aiming to perpetuate the Aggie Spirit, became member of the Endowed Century Club as well.

His fondest memories of his time on campus are of Aggie baseball games, enjoying Slovacek’s sausages and relentlessly razzing opposing pitchers and coaches. Today he continues to embody the Aggie Spirit throughout his daily life, and is thankful for the chance to support other Aggies.
He said Texas A&M not only provides a quality education and opportunities in the workplace, but also instills core values in students that prepare them for their time after graduation. Those core values positively affected the way he conducts himself at work, how he thinks about his pursuits outside of work, and continually push him to be a better person.
Jason welcomed his wife Brenda into the Aggie Network, and both enjoy making a lasting legacy and providing other students with the opportunity to receive a valuable education.
“The Endowed Century Club is a great opportunity to leave behind a lasting legacy that continues to provide resources for many years to come,” he said. “We also trust that The Association of Former Students is in the best position to manage our gift by finding those in need and providing them with the necessary resources.”
