I wish to thank everyone for your support of my service to our nation and especially to my family during my absence. Without your continuous support, Citizen-Soldiers such as myself could not serve in the Reserve Components of the Armed Forces, and that would create a significantly greater challenge to our national defense as well as fiscal budgets.

AUVti81’1 4 December 12, 1996 Honorable Members of the Seventy-Fifth Texas Legislature: I We are pleased to submit our 1997 Report on the Scope of Competition in Telecommunications Markets as required by Section 3.05 l(k) of the Public Utility I Regulatory Act of 1995. Since the Texas Legislature adopted significant telecommunications legislation in 1995, changes in the structure of this industry have occurred at an accelerated pace, Concurrent with the PUC’s implementation of the regulatory reforms contained in PURA95, Congress passed the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, which mandates additional major steps toward competition in the local and long distance telecommunications markets. At a time when the industry is experiencing rapid change, the Commission recognizes the Legislature’s need for up to date, accurate information. The enclosed report provides a thorough discussion of current developments for your use as you consider the important issues of telecommunications regulation and competition. If you need additional information about any issues addressed in the report, please call on us. Sincerely, AtWood, I11 Robert W. Gee fl Judy W.

  • Many Stars Come from Texas
    MANY STARS COME FROM TEXAS. t h e T erry fo un d atio n MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER he Terry Foundation is nearing its sixteenth anniversary and what began modestly in 1986 is now the largest Tprivate source of scholarships for University of Texas and Texas A&M University. This April, the universities selected 350 outstanding Texas high school seniors as interview finalists for Terry Scholarships. After the interviews were completed, a record 165 new 2002 Terry Scholars were named. We are indebted to the 57 Scholar Alumni who joined the members of our Board of Directors in serving on eleven interview panels to select the new Scholars. These freshmen Scholars will join their fellow upperclass Scholars next fall in College Station and Austin as part of a total anticipated 550 Scholars: the largest group of Terry Scholars ever enrolled at one time. The spring of 2002 also brought graduation to 71 Terry Scholars, many of whom graduated with honors and are moving on to further their education in graduate studies or Howard L. Terry join the workforce. We also mark 2002 by paying tribute to one of the Foundations most dedicated advocates. Coach Darrell K. Royal retired from the Foundation board after fourteen years of outstanding leadership and service. A friend for many years, Darrell was instrumental in the formation of the Terry Foundation and served on the Board of Directors since its inception. We will miss his seasoned wisdom, his keen wit, and his discerning ability to judge character: all traits that contributed to his success as a coach and recruiter and helped him guide the University of Texas football team to three national championships.

  • Athletic Handbook 2019-2020
    KERMIT INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT ATHLETIC HANDBOOK 2019-2020 Charles Ross, Athletic Director/Head Football Coach 915-526-1121 [email protected] Program Mantra W.I.N. Our athletic department mantra will be WIN. I love to win and I will outwork our opponent coaches in order for that to happen. But the acronym WIN is not just about instilling the mindset to winning athletic competitions; it’s a way of life. It stands for What’s Important Now. I want our athletes living a balanced life of being a student-athlete, son/daughter, friend, and involved community member. Program Vision The purpose of Kermit Athletics is to develop an attitude of continuous growth towards character, integrity, leadership, and work ethic. The athletic department will represent KISD in the way administration expects of all teachers, coaches, students, and student-athletes. When student-athletes graduate they will be prepared to lead the past, present, and future generations. Program Mission The Kermit Athletic Department will outwork our opponents in the classroom, within our community, for KISD, and in the realm of athletics. As a department, we will implement a leadership program consisting of student athletes that will meet weekly to make team decisions. Within those meetings, I will teach them how to expand their leadership skills and how they can help grow leaders among the teams. Program Values These values are prioritized in a way that will enhance the probability of achieving the vision and mission. 1. Academics The athletic department will be committed to academic excellence. Each program will stress the importance of academic achievement per NCAA guidelines.
