We believe that we have captured saved jobs and other painful cuts that ‘lightning in a bottle’ because our landowners, ranch would have significantly reduced managers, donors, and Advisory Board Members share our ability to deliver the research results that hopefully a common passion—that science and research should would help you conserve and manage your habitat and be the backbone of our conservation and management the wildlife that live there. efforts in South Texas. This shared vision and passion transcends politics and where we came from. This Today, we are healthier than ever. We invest your shared vision and passion is why every person at the donations wisely in critical personnel, projects, and Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute can’t wait published materials like newsletters and our most recent to get to work every morning, no matter how dog-tired bulletin “Quail Harvest Guidelines.” And occasionally, they were the night before.

Every long-time supporter I know would love to see CKWRI live far out into the future—beyond my time here and beyond those who are actively and passionately Fred C. Bryant giving to our programs, whether it be a $25–$100 gift Leroy G. Denman, Jr. Endowed each year, or those who give to us as CK Partners or Director of Wildlife Research Sustaining Contributors. Several donors have stepped forward, quietly, to lead a new effort in building our endowment, which is already beyond $17 million. We will soon announce a new campaign “Positioning CKWRI for Future Generations,” with a goal of growing our endowment by $40 million over the next 3 years. It is exciting to know we are almost halfway there. When I think about all of the heartwarming examples that have happened to me over the past 18 years, I know it is possible. Examples are those who wouldn’t let us borrow their tractor, but purchased one for us instead when we were desperate to get our first native seed harvest in the barn. Examples are those who gave so we could place a quail scientist in San Antonio. Examples are those who have given memorial gifts in the name of loved ones, some of which grew to an endowment 2 SCHOLARSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIPS Student Scholarships Phil Plant Graduate Scholarship in Wildlife Management Reńe Barrientos Fund for Graduate Student Tuition Hank Birdsall, Sasha Carvajal-Villarreal, Every graduate student in our program financially Cord Eversole benefitted from this fund.

    Case 9:03-cv-00165-TH Document 37 Filed 03/10/2006 Page 1 of 19 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS LUFKIN DIVISION ARTHUR TEMPLE, Individually, § and as Independent Executor of the § ESTATE OF CHARLOTTE DEAN § TEMPLE § Plaintiff,§ §CIVIL ACTION NO. 9:03-CV-165 (TH) v. § §BENCH UNITED STATES OF AMERICA § § Defendant.§ MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER This is a civil action for the recovery of federal gift taxes and related interest. Plaintiff Arthur Temple (“Temple”), individually and as independent executor of the estate of his wife, Mrs Charlotte Dean ("Lottie") Temple, alleges that the federal government, through the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), erroneously and wrongfully assessed and collected gift taxes from Temple and from the estate of Mrs. Lottie Temple. Specifically, Temple demands judgment in his favor in the amount of approximately $5,846,708, plus interest, and for costs and other relief that may be provided. The Court conducted a bench trial of this matter from June 27, 2005, through June 29, 2005. Having carefully considered the weight and credibility of all oral and documentary evidence and the respective arguments and post-trial submissions of the parties, the Court finds that Temple has established his right to over $7 million in federal gift tax and interest. The following findings of fact and conclusions of law are issued under Rule 52(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Temple is a United States citizen and resides in Diboll, Texas. (Joint Pretrial Order ("JPO") Stipulation #1; Trial Transcript ("Tr.") 28).

  • Li Dissertation
    Irimbert of Admont and his Scriptural Commentaries: Exegeting Salvation History in the Twelfth Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Shannon Marie Turner Li, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Alison I. Beach, PhD, Advisor David Brakke, PhD Kristina Sessa, PhD Copyright by Shannon Marie Turner Li 2017 Abstract Through an examination of Irimbert of Admont’s (c. 1096-1176) scriptural commentaries, I argue that Irimbert makes use of traditional themes of scriptural interpretation while also engaging with contemporary developments in theology and spirituality. Irimbert of Admont and his writings have been understudied and generally mischaracterized in modern scholarship, yet a case study into his writings has much to offer in our understanding of theology and spirituality at the monastery of Admont and the wider context of the monastic Hirsau reform movement. The literary genre of exegesis itself offers a unique perspective into contemporary society and culture, and Irimbert’s writings, which were written within a short span, make for an ideal case study. Irimbert’s corpus of scriptural commentaries demonstrates strong themes of salvation history and the positive advancement of the Church, and he explores such themes in the unusual context of the historical books of the Old Testament, which were rarely studied by medieval exegetes. Irimbert thus utilizes biblical history to craft an interpretive scheme of salvation history that delicately combines traditional and contemporary exegetical, theological, and spiritual elements. The twelfth-century library at Admont housed an impressive collection of traditional patristic writings alongside the most recent scholastic texts coming out of Paris.
