Annual Report Donors Sam Houston State University VOLUME 7 • NUMBER 1 • 2013-2014 Annual Reportto Donors Charlie Amato and Gary Dudley A Message from the President early every day, I am reminded of the overwhelming generosity of Sam Houston State NUniversity’s donors. I have heard countless, heartfelt stories from our students who have attributed their ability to attend college and achieve success solely on the scholarships provided by our alumni and friends. I have witnessed the awestruck looks of thousands of visitors as they walk through our beautiful campus with its new and renovated facilities that were built, in part, through donor support. I have had the privilege to speak publicly about the accomplishments of the university and the quality of our academic programs, which would not have been possible without philanthropy. Each of you, who are listed within the pages of this 2013-2014 Annual Report to Donors, has made a meaningful difference for Sam Houston State and its nearly 20,000 students. Your support positively impacts enrollment growth, the quality of academic programs, the strength of athletic teams, and so many other things that enhance the university’s national stature. Simply put, you have invested in changing the lives of tomorrow’s leaders, which will have a profound impact on the future of our region, state, and nation for generations to come. Over the past 300 years, higher education has been the primary source for all significant innovation and change, fueling momentous leaps in scientific and societal advancements. Knowing that Sam Houston has an extraordinary cadre of loyal and dependable support, I am confident this grand old university will continue to honor and uphold longstanding traditions and values, while embracing change and nurturing intellectual inquiry in order to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st centur y. Thank you for caring. Thank you for your involvement and thoughtful support. We could not be successful without you. Dana G.

Amato told graduates, “We didn’t makes sense. Nearly 40 years later, SWBC build our company with home runs; we did it by hitting singles. We just keep it as simple as we can.” They say it’s because “simple” is what they know. Both men come from humble beginnings, growing up in small refinery towns in Texas. “My mother and father got to the eighth grade and my grandparents were immigrants,” Amato said. “My daddy went through the sixth grade; my mom graduated high school but didn’t go any further,” Dudley added. “I was the first one in my family, as Charlie was, to get a degree, and it’s a life- changing event.” Before even enrolling at Sam Houston State University, Dudley’s and Amato’s paths had already crossed—they were just starting the sixth grade when they met in junior high in LaPorte. Their initial friendship would be short-lived, when Amato’s father decided to move his family to Texas City. The two lost track of each Charlie Amato and Gary Dudley at the AT&T Center in San Antonio. other until they each enrolled at Sam Houston in the mid-1960s and “Running a company is hard, but comprises 18 entities in the financial pledged the same fraternity, Sigma with the two of us coming together, realm and has allowed Amato and Phi Epsilon. it’s a perfect fit and it’s been a terrific Dudley to obtain five car dealerships, “I believe the fraternity life binds partnership,” said Dudley. a real estate development company, you,” Dudley said. “You make so The pair started the San Antonio- and part ownership of the San many friends that it encourages you based SWBC in 1976 with the Antonio Spurs. to make good grades and stay in 2 SHSU Annual Report to Donors school.

By that time, Amato had spent five years working in the banking industry. The two fraternity brothers met again in 1972 at a party in Houston, where Dudley recruited Amato to start working for his employer. But not long after the two began working together, they decided that being with the Michigan-based insurance company wasn’t in their best interest. “They weren’t servicing our clients well enough,” Amato said. “We were doing the best we could in Texas and they were in Michigan, so it was long distance and we felt our clients deserved better treatment.” “We left at the same time and found an insurance company that had enough faith in us to allow us to use them as our provider for the same product we had been selling,” Dudley said. “We started SWBC by Amato and Dudley with the

  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

A COLLECTION —OF — VALUABLE HISTORICAL EXTRACTS ON A GR.E!T VA R TETY OF SUBJECTS, OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO THE BIBLE STUDENT, FROM EMINENT AUTHORS, ANCIENT AND MODERN. REVISED BY G. I. BUTLER. " Admissions in favor of troth, from the ranks of its enemies, constitute the highest kind of evidence."—Puss. Ass Mattatc. Pr This Volume contains about One Thousand Separate Historical Statements. THIRD EDITION, ENLARGED, AND BROUGHT DOWN TO 1885. REVIEW AND HERALD, BATTLE CREEK, MICH. PACIFIC PRESS, OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA. PREFACE. Tax object of this volume, as its name implies, is to furnish to the inquirer a large fund of facts bearing upon important Bible subjects, which are of special interest to the present generation, • While "the Bible and the Bible alone" is the only unerring rule of faith and practice, it is very desirable oftentimes to ascertain what great and good men have believed concerning its teachings. This is especially desirable when religious doctrines are being taught which were considered new and strange by some, but which, in reality, have bad the sanction of many of the most eminent and devoted of God's servants in the past. Within the last fifty years, great changes have occurred among religious teachers and churches. Many things which were once con- sidered important truths are now questioned or openly rejected ; while other doctrines which are thought to be strange and new are found to have the sanction of the wisest and best teachers of the past. The extracts contained in this work cover a wide range of subjects, many of them of deep interest to the general reader.

  • 1872: Survivors of the Texas Revolution
    (from the 1872 Texas Almanac) SURVIVORS OF THE TEXAS REVOLUTION. The following brief sketches of some of the present survivors of the Texas revolution have been received from time to time during the past year. We shall be glad to have the list extended from year to year, so that, by reference to our Almanac, our readers may know who among those sketches, it will be seen, give many interesting incidents of the war of the revolution. We give the sketches, as far as possible, in the language of the writers themselves. By reference to our Almanac of last year, (1871) it will be seen that we then published a list of 101 names of revolutionary veterans who received the pension provided for by the law of the previous session of our Legislature. What has now become of the Pension law? MR. J. H. SHEPPERD’S ACCOUNT OF SOME OF THE SURVIVORS OF THE TEXAS REVOLUTION. Editors Texas Almanac: Gentlemen—Having seen, in a late number of the News, that you wish to procure the names of the “veteran soldiers of the war that separated Texas from Mexico,” and were granted “pensions” by the last Legislature, for publication in your next year’s Almanac, I herewith take the liberty of sending you a few of those, with whom I am most intimately acquainted, and now living in Walker and adjoining counties. I would remark, however, at the outset, that I can give you but little information as to the companies, regiments, &c., in which these old soldiers served, or as to the dates, &c., of their discharges.
