Let’s hear from the original 12th Man Himself, E. King Gill

Dear CCC Member,

We’ve all heard about the 12^th Man tradition – and we will commemorate its 100^th anniversary on Jan. 2 – but until now, most of us have not heard the voice of the original 12^th Man himself, E. King Gill.

On the latest episode of my TV show, Around Texas with Chancellor John Sharp, we hear a newly uncovered audio recording of King Gill talking about his legacy and one of Texas A&M’s most sacred traditions.

“It’s my wish here today that you preserve these traditions,” Gill is heard saying on a decades-old audio recording. “It’s made me a better Aggie and will make you a better Aggie.”

See the segment on E. King Gill and the 12^th Man tradition here, or check out the entire episode on the show’s homepage at www.SharpAroundTexas.com.

We promise you will discover a thing or two about the 12^th Man tradition that you didn’t know before.

Thanks, as always, for your ongoing support,

Have a prospect in mind?
