both were enrolled full-time in
their academic programs.
“The children (Tambria, 13,
Heather, 9, and Pattillo, 7) were
a big help,” Mrs. Read admits.
“We trust the children and they
stayed at home helping with the
cooking and house work.”
Read said the work day start
ed at daylight and continued until
midnight or later seven days a
week, due mainly to their work
with plants requiring constant
care.
He reports June 1 to the U. S.
Department of Agriculture Plant
Science Research Division in Sa
linas, Calif., to begin cytogenetic
research on sugarbeets. Mrs.
Read is looking for a teaching-
research job in the Salinas area.
Both come from Texas farm
life, including work on the farms.
Mrs. Read’s family is a part of
Texas history. Her grandfather,
Pattillo Higgins Sr., discovered
the Spindletop Oil Field near
Beaumont. Her father, Pattillo
Higgins Jr., discovered the orig
inal sexual buffelgrass and his
grass farm in Sutherland Springs
is one of the best known in Texas.
The Reads expect little trouble
communicating with each other
about their work.
“She knows as much about my
work as I do,” James explained.
“Our degrees are so closely asso
ciated that we each know what the
other is talking about. If one of us
wants to go fishing, the other
can take over the greenhouse,”
he quipped.
They admit there are disadvan
tages.
“When we both work in the
same office, you can’t come home
telling the other about how hard
I worked,” Mrs. Read said. “We
know what the other has done.”
Read graduated from Dublin
High School in 1958, served a
three-year tour in the Army and
graduated from Tarleton State’s
two-year program in 1964.
He received B.S. and M.S. de
grees from Texas A&M. He held
research and teaching assistant-
ships at A&M and a National De
fense Education Act fellowship.
Mrs. Read graduated from
Alamo Heights High School and
received a B.S. degree in biology
from Trinity University in 1956.
She has a master’s from Texas
A&I.
Her experience includes teach
ing at the public school and uni
versity levels in San Antonio,
Bishop, New York, Texas A&I
and A&M. She holds a teaching
and research assistantship at
A&M.
There have been a number of
women who earned Ph.D. degrees
at Texas A&M, but Mrs. Read is
the first to obtain the degree at
the same time as her husband,
the Registrar’s Office reports.

Former Students name
four distinguished alumni
A dermatologist, a cattle ranch
er, a retired lieutenant general,
and the head of ITT operations
in Africa and the Middle East
have been named Distinguished
Alumni.
The honorees are Robert W.
Colglazier Jr. of San Antonio,
Rex B. Grey of London, England,
Dr. John M. Knox of Houston,
and Norman N. Moser of De
kalb.
The four men were selected
jointly by the university and its
Association of Former Students.
They will be presented awards at
the May 8 commencement exer
cises.
Geology prof
given party
Professor Fred E. Smith, vet
eran geology teacher, was sur
prised Thursday with a retire
ment barbecue party at Friendly
Acres.
More than 100 of Smith’s friends
from the College of Geosciences
and the university attended.
He will conclude 23 years serv-
ive with retirement this semester.
Smith and his wife Odette, who
have made College Station their
permanent home, leave May 31 on
an European tour.
A former oil industry paleon
tologist and Air Force Reserve
major, he joined the A&M geology
faculty in 1948. Smith has been
assistant to the geosciences dean
for the past two years.
For the last 10 summers, the
enthusiastic rock-hound has con
ducted a geology institute for ex
ceptional high school students
under National Science Founda
tion grant.
“The Distinguished Alumni
Awards do more than recognize
these men of achievement,” Pres
ident Dr. Jack K. Williams said.
“They present evidence of the ef
fectiveness of A&M’s role in
higher education to the people of
Texas and the nation.”
Colglazier, a 1925 civil engi
neering graduate, attained the
highest grade ever held by a re
serve officer on active duty in
the U. S. Army. At the time of
his retirement at Fort Sam Hous
ton in 1966, he commanded the
Fourth Army. He retired as a
lieutenant general with 40 years
of commissioned service.
Considered one of the world’s
authorities in the field of logis
tics, Colglazier made special
studies of logistical situations in
Europe for NATO at the request
of the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff. Also since re
tirement, he made logistical stud
ies of world oil reserves while on
special assignment to the Secre
tary of Defense.
Grey, president of ITT Africa
and the Middle East, has been
with the European operations of
International Telephone and Tele
graph Corporation for the past
10 years. Under his leadership,
the functions of 30-40 ITT com
panies have tripled in size. Grey
was president of his own firm
and then associated with Dresser
Industries before joining ITT in
1960.
Born in El Paso, he studied
mechanical engineering at A&M
before entering World War II.
After the war, Grey studied at
the University of Houston and
Harvard.
