To make it football related, I'm sure Dr. Garner attended Aggie football games.
Reader's Digest version: Dr. Art Garner '55 lost his home and almost all of his possessions in the grass fires that swept the Amarillo area one year ago. He was serving with the volunteer fire department, saving other homes when his was lost. His Aggie Ring was among the few possessions recovered.
After fire, Garners recover through faith, family

quote:
Roberto Rodriguez / Amarillo Globe-News-Art Garner shows his Texas A&M University class ring, which was salvaged after his house burned down.
...It was a year ago on that windy Sunday that Art told Angeline to drive to their son David Garner’s house in Claude. Fire was engulfing Timbercreek Canyon that afternoon and Art was part of the Tanglewood volunteer fire department. Angeline needed to get to safety.
That night, a weary Art arrived at the home of his son’s family. He could barely get out the first three words, “Angeline, we’re homeless.”...
The smell of smoke had not left the Garner home when people started to show their better selves. The four Garner children and spouses the next day sifted through ashes and found Art’s 1955 Texas A&M class ring. Son Keith, a college minister in Lubbock, brought some students to sift through rubble to uncover Angeline’s LSU ring and three more rings.
McFarlin’s and Goodin’s jewelry stores cleaned the rings at no charge...
