Everett E. Turner, a long-time agriculture and range animal science faculty member at Sul Ross State University, left a lasting imprint on the ag students at the college that defined his legacy, and resonated well into the future. Born in Palestine, a town in the Piney Woods of East Texas, Turner moved to Alpine in 1946, and taught ag at Alpine High School, then moved on to become an ag professor at Sul Ross until his retirement in the 1970s. Judy Sproul, Turner’s daughter and a Fort Davis resident, still recalls that trip made in 1946. She was just eight months old when her father made the journey across Texas to Alpine to begin the pursuit of agricultural education and impact generations of ag students. Turner passed away in 1992, but his contributions to the field of ag education resonate to this day.
