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.

"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."

"One of the most anticipated moments of an Aggie is the moment that Aggie receives his/her Aggie ring. Behind every Aggie is a personal story—why he/she came to A&M, what it took to get there, and all that had to happen to earn and purchase an Aggie Ring. The ring is not just a piece of jewelry. It’s a symbol of all that binds Aggies together—past, present, and future. It’s our most visible tradition we can proudly wear as a reminder of our core values, our Aggie family, our rich history of sacrifice and our promising future of positively changing the world. We gave this gift so that more Aggies can proudly wear their Aggie Ring and understand that even a ring can give a sense of something larger than self. Just one more Aggie Ring worn on an Aggie’s hand will lead to hundreds of instant reunions of Aggies around the world."
