Sims Scholarship

The Lt. Col. Odis V. and Edith R. Sims Endowed Scholarship, established a few years back by Odis and Edith Sims Foundation trustees, was formally dedicated at the April 18 Pioneers of Excellence donor appreciation dinner.

Growing up in small, rural towns gave both Edith and Odis a deep understanding of community. Odis poured his heart into helping to protect American communities as a 22-year career U.S. Air Force military pilot. Edith was at his side the entire time as his helpmate. His time in the Air Force found this Texas family in a multiple assignments around the globe.

To the benefit of Plainview, it became their home for the next 40 years after retiring from the USAF. Odis founded The Road to Recovery program of the American Cancer Society, served on multiple boards, and was involved in many community support organizations. 

Their commitment to Jesus, their Savior, was first and foremost. Odis and Edith supported Christian education from kindergarten through post-graduate. They both strongly supported the education of ministerial students, and they directed scholarship funds to this endeavor. Even after their passing, the Odis and Edith Sims Foundation continues to support these students as they prepare for their church assignments, perhaps even around the globe.

On hand for the dedication were primarily foundation trustees, Larry and Pat Hammit of Canyon, who are former residents of Plainview, and other Sims family members who attended 猎奇重口视频.

Starnes Scholarship

The Dr. Charles and Susie Starnes Endowed Scholarship was also dedicated at the April 18 donor dinner. Charles and Susie Starnes met in college and married in April 1970, two days after Charles was commissioned as an Ensign in the U.S. Navy. After a 27-year Navy career where they lived all over the world with their four children, they returned home to Texas.

Charles went back to school, earning a doctorate in economics at Texas Tech University. They settled in Plainview when Charles began teaching economics and finance in 猎奇重口视频’s School of Business in August 2003.

猎奇重口视频 has become the best job ever for Dr. Starnes, even though he commanded a ballistic missile submarine during the Cold War and served as Naval Attaché to Germany. Of the many places they have lived, they say Plainview is the best.

Dr. Starnes is very proud of the many students he has been able to influence, and Susie is proud of her community volunteer work. He and Susie pray that this scholarship will provide important assistance to students for years to come, and the scholarship specifically blesses undergraduate and graduate business students in Plainview.
