Murray Watson, Jr., 1932-2018 razos Education Foundation founder and chairman Murray Watson, Jr., had many pithy sayings that he loved to share with scholarship recipients. “The education you have will determine the success you achieve.” BB “The hardest thing to pay for is yesterday’s groceries.” “Never give up. Rise to the occasion. One day you can look back and see how far you’ve come.” “I have always believed that education is the one thing that can’t be taken away from a person, and I want to create ways to make higher education more accessible to young people.” Sadly, Mr. Watson passed away in late July, but his dedication to serving others lives on Murray Watson, Jr. and Missy Larson with scholars Diego through the Brazos Education Foundation, under the direction of his daughter, Missy Lar- Loredo and Aman Meerza. son. Formed in 2009, the Foundation was the brainchild of Mr. Watson and the board of Brazos Higher Education Service Corporation, Inc., who decided to give back by helping area students go to college and succeed. The first four scholars arrived in 2010 and have since graduated from college and settled into professions, from engineering and sales to nursing and social work. This year, 48 Brazos Scholars will benefit from generous donations with $16,000 scholarships ($4,000 annually). For many, this scholarship makes the difference between dropping out and graduating. By this time next year, 100 active Brazos Scholars and Brazos Alumni will be pursuing their education and career goals.

Approximately ninety people enjoyed the delicious barbeque dinner provided by a citizens group spearheaded by the dinner’s chief cook, Vernon Markwardt (pictured right). Numerous individuals helped Markwardt at every step of the undertaking from collecting the funds to cooking and serving the meal. Markwardt began the project in early April with an open letter to the community printed in the Paw Print Press and circulated to downtown business. In the letter he said, “The community of Itasca is fortunate to have an excellent school system! The system has excelled at a time when many schools have failed. This is in large part due to the dedicated teachers and staff of this district. They have worked hard and continue to work hard, providing the best education they can for their students. The Itasca ISD has been recognized by Texas Education Agency as well as several national publications. These accomplishments were achieved by the dedication and hard work of the entire staff of Itasca ISD.” The district employees were most appreciative of the dinner and the community support that it represented. “We love working with our students at Itasca ISD and we know that the community and parents appreciate what we do,” one high school teacher said, “but the dinner and sentiment meant a lot to us especially after such a demanding year.
