Miers continues to serve the institution he loves through leadership roles on the Board of Trustees and during fundraising campaigns. Miers remembers the people that influenced him most as Dr. Gordon Bennett, McMurry President; Dr. S. B. Thompson, History professor; and Miss Willie Mae Christopher, English professor. “Dr. Thompson was a really unusual man. He had two Ph.D.s and a keen mind. He was very inspirational,” said Miers. Of his freshman English professor, Miss Christopher, he said, “She was a great teacher. She cared more about substance in your writing. The grammar could be taught. She wanted to know what you had to say.” While at McMurry, Miers served as President of the Junior Class. He also served on the McMurry Student Government Judicial Panel and was active in Ko Sari men’s social club. After graduating from McMurry in 1959, Miers worked as a public school teacher for seven years. For the past 40 years, Miers has overseen Miers Cattle Co., the family ranching business. Miers credits the “great faculty and administrators” at McMurry for opening a “very large window to the world.” In particular, at McMurry, Miers was “turned on to a life of servanthood for those who are less fortunate.” He and Barbara, whom he met at McMurry in 1957, were married in 1959. They have three sons, Bobby, Jay and Shannon, and five grandchildren. They have been members at St. Paul United Methodist Church for 50 years. Miers’ proudest memories are finding his life mate in Barbara and observing his three sons mature and become productive citizens. Bobby Miers is with First Allied Securities in Abilene. Jay is with Pensions Unlimited, a company that manages pensions. Shannon raises and sells quarterhorses. His proudest McMurry moment was being honored as an outstanding alumnus in October 2005. Miers advises current McMurry students to “be open-minded. Absorb all you can. Prepare yourself for a life of loving, learning and leading.”

In 1971, he joined Baylor University as head football coach and athletic director. After the 1992 season Teaff left Baylor University, and in 1994, he became the Executive Director of the 10,000-member American Football Coaches Association, where he continues to serve. To current McMurry students Teaff said, “recognize and appreciate the great opportunity that you have to receive an outstanding education in a Christian environment. I advise you to learn from the administrators, teachers and coaches about commitment, inspiration and motivation, as you formulate how you will live your life. As quick as you can, realize what a huge advantage an education and degree from McMurry gives you. And quickly, begin to repay the university in whatever way you can.

I was truly taken by surprise when asked by Dr. Russell to give the commencement address in 2006,” said Fallon. “While I have contributed to various McMurry causes since I graduated, this one was by far the most important opportunity for me to give something back to the University. Coming back to the campus and seeing familiar faces was an inspiration. Hopefully, leaving a lasting impression on the graduates, and having my family there to witness the event will always be with me.” Fallon advises current McMurry students to “take advantage of what McMurry has to offer and challenge yourself to do more while there. The more life-experiences you start in college, the more prepared you will be in the ‘real world’. McMurry was a safe environment to try on new experiences, which I was fortunate enough to experience. Those experiences made me much better prepared for the uncertainties after McMurry. Seek the counsel of your professors and the school staff. They take great pride and interest in seeing you succeed. They are knowledgeable and you are lucky to be able to take advantage of their expertise.”
