"The Aggie Ring is a powerful symbol, uniting former students everywhere. I have met fellow Ags on every continent (except Antarctica) through my ring. I’m proud to wear it every day and make instant connections with others who value the same qualities of excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect and selfless service that the ring represents."

After graduating as Valedictorian from Hereford, Texas in 1942, Jack became the first in his family to attend college. However, after starting at A&M he quickly left to join the Army to fight in World War II. After serving in both the European and Pacific theatres, he returned to A&M to complete his civil engineering degree. After moving to Texas from Waupun, Wisconsin, Gretchen graduated from the Baylor University School of Nursing. Jack became the Supervising Resident Engineer for the Texas Highway Department before he retired after 36 years. During this time, Gretchen worked as a R.N. for a private clinic, the school system, and the county. Jack and Gretchen have spent a lifetime as supporters of Texas A&M.
I wanted to attend A&M because, even in the 40's, it had a good reputation, high standards, and a great engineering school. I have continued to believe in A&M and encouraged our children to attend there. We love going back to the campus for athletic events and other activities and to watch its growth.

As we began making college plans with our daughter this year, it became a time to remember all the great times we had while attending A&M, and how much of an impact A&M has had on our lives. From meeting each other in Sbisa to the values A&M instills in its students, our lives have been shaped by that time. Jobs on campus, scholarships, student loans, and the generosity of others helped us graduate, and we wanted to give just a little bit back.

Jon and Johnette met in class in the spring of 1968 when he was a senior and she was a junior. They married in October. Jon's father was Class of '25 and his brother is class of '65, so A&M has always been a huge part of life for the family. It became even more so when their children, Shanna, class of '98, and Scott, class of '00, started. They had always hoped to give back to the university they loved but had not decided how or what to do.
“In 1996 I traveled to Israel with my high school best friend, and in Jerusalem we went into a jewelry store. I pointed at something in the case that I wanted to see and the young man behind the case grabbed my hand saying "You're an Aggie! You're an Aggie!" I learned that he was born in Israel, but had relatives in Houston, so he came to college at Texas A&M, received a degree in business, and is now running the family business. He was so excited to meet another Aggie and we had an instant bond of family because of Texas A&M and how recognizable the Aggie ring is. The Aggie ring is the most visible symbol of the Aggie Family. That is when Jon and I decided we wanted to help students not financially able to purchase a ring to be able wear that symbol, so we established the Johnette '70 and Jon '68 Jarvis Aggie Ring Scholarship. And it has been a huge blessing to us to be able to help students and to have opportunity to meet them and learn about their hopes and dreams.”
