Bigger and Better...
Still remembering and honoring the time spent in Aggieland, the tradition of mustering has grown in strength, meaning, and spirit. By 1929, meeting had grown worldwide, and in 1942 Aggie Muster gained international recognition. Twenty-five men, led by General George Moore '08, mustered during the Japanese Siege of the Philippine island of Corregidor. Knowing that Muster might soon be called for them, these Aggies embodied the essence of commitment, dedication, and friendship- the Aggie Spirit. They risked their lives to honor their beliefs and values. That small group of Aggies on an outpost during World War II inspired what has developed into one of our greatest traditions.

Aggie Mama - Muster should be great this year. Hey! I'm going to be in your neck of the woods next week - got time for a burger?

Loddy - I'm flying in to SA Monday for the night and staying up in Comfort - any way we can meet between Comfort and Austin for a bite of dinner? PS: Congrats on whipping those Huskies into shape tonite. (I yelled for ya - you owe me!)
