Introducing New Texas A&M System Regent Bob Albritton

Another first can be scored by the Texas A&M University System.

The recent appointment of Bryan native Bob Albritton to the board of regents marked the first time a son has followed his father on any of the state’s public university governing bodies.

Albritton says the day Governor Abbott called was his father’s birthday and the day after the first anniversary of his father’s death, and that night Albritton shared the news during a family gathering that included his mother.

And he says current regents chairman Phil Adams of Bryan lives in the house built by his parents.
