Thanks and Gig'Em.

TexAgs new slogan:

TexAgs: Gates knows stuff

Thank you Dr. Gates! Best of luck and God bless. You will be missed.

Dr. Gates,

Now my monthly travel schedule to Washington will feel much warmer. Thank God we have an individual who will lead with a vision. We are saddened to see you go, but are blessed that you agreed to fill a historic calling.

Please remember in the difficult days ahead that you have the Aggie faithful on call 24/7. If you need us for anything - WE WILL BE THERE!

God Bless You

Given that the TexAgs Staff has posted this link on the front page of Texags, I presume that ranger65's true identity has been verified.

Thanks, Dr. Gates. Your leadership is much appreciated.

Please maintain your contact with A&M and TexAgs.

I consider you a true Aggie.

Thanks Dr. Gates. Just wanted to be part of this epic post. I wish you were the Prez while I attended!

Gig'em Dr. Gates!!

We hope that you are able to visit texags from time to time.

You've obviously made a significant impact on this university, and Aggies will never forget that. Thanks.

Good luck, sir!

Thanks for your service to Texas A&M!

The great thing is, for those of us in the military, Dr. Gates will be our boss!

Dr. Gates,

Thanks for everything that you have done for the University. Although I lament your departure, I respect your honoring of our country with your much needed service. May God bless you and I hope to hear great things from you in the future.

Good luck Dr. Gates.
You must know we are all very proud of what you have done and will do.

The best to you, Mister Secretary. We're proud to be associated with you, and look forward to occasional visits. With a heavy heart, I bid you best wishes.

I heard you speak to an Aggie Mom's Club and was impressed with your sincerity and genuine love for the students. I was equally impressed with how you conducted yourself at the recent confirmation hearings. Thanks for being a part of the Aggie Family!

Mere words cannot express our admiration and appreciation.

"Thanks for everything"

good luck, best wishes

Thank you, Dr. Gates. Your incredible leadership and vision will be missed in Aggieland.

I'm on page 18. But I made it.

Thanks for all you have done Dr. Gates. Best of luck in Washington. You will be missed here in Aggieland.

Thank you Dr. Gates! We are so privileged to have had you as our president. I received two degress during your tenure and I am so honored to have them hanging on the wall in my office. Take care of our soldiers as I know you will!

Page 18!

Thanks Dr. Gates

Thank you, God bless, and God's speed.

And as you said, "Until we meet again..."

Dr. Gates,
Thank you for your leadership, vision, and genuine care for A&M. You will be missed, however we do realize that you are serving the greater good of our country.

I only hope that you are able to bring the same leadership and direction to Washington.

Tell Cheney he still owes me money.

Good luck and we hope to see you back on campus after you are finished serving your country once again.

Dr. Gates: I want to offer you the best of luck on your new assignment. I have enjoyed speaking to you on three occasions: At the AFS reception prior to the Clemson game, just after the Katrina victims were invited to the A&M campus. I first met you just after my son's graduation ceremony in 2004 and finally at the Alamo Aggie party before the Army game in San Antonio when we disucssed the increase in minority enrollment at A&M. I thank you for taking the time each and every occasion to stop to talk and share parts of your vision for A&M. You will be missed.

Gig'em.

Gig 'em Aggies!

I don't know if you remember me, but I was that one guy in a cap and gown that shook your hand. Congrats and Gig'em

Sir,

Thanks again for taking time out of your schedule to get the picture taken with us in Baghdad. Now I have a "celebrity photo" to put in my office when I take Command sometime next year.

Thank you Dr. Gates and GIG EM!!
