At 18, he started at TCU while continuing to oversee operations at Bonds Ranch.

Read this again on the plane and it struck me. Mr Bonds, graduate of the esteemed RM program. Mrs Bonds, graduate of the nation's first balet/dance degree program. Daughter, graduate of esteemed RM program and first female to hold leadership governent officer positions with the cattle associations.

All TCU. GO FROGS!

Interesting update, sorta.
The new President of the Texas Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association began his year this past weekend when he was installed. Robert McKnight. TCU Alum.

I really don't think people understand the impact TCU folks have on the ag industry. Or the energy industry for that matter.
