Hurlbuts Generously Donate Another Piece of Angus History
Loyal and devoted supporters of the Angus Foundation, Dean and Gloria Hurlbut of
St. Joseph, MO, by popular request of many Angus history “buffs” and collectors
of Angus memorabilia have once again donated a piece of the beautiful carpet (red
background with Angus bull heads) that was installed in the library of the American
Angus Association when it opened its offices at St. Joseph, MO in 1956. The carpet
was replaced in 1993.
No strangers to the Angus family, both Dean and Gloria were long-time employees
of the American Angus Association. Dean was Director of Activities and Gloria was
Supervisor in the Performance Programs Department. Their combined service totaled
70 years.
In 2006, the Hurlbuts donated a piece of carpet to the silent auction where it sold
for $600. No doubt the Hurlbut’s donation this year of carpet with dimensions of
7’2” x 28” will again be a highly sought after heirloom of Angus history by silent
auction attendees at the upcoming 2007 NJAS.

Zack Morris Donates Signed and Numbered Limited Edition Print
Zack began his participation in Native American Culture thru song and dance on May
16, 1981. He began dancing in the Men's Southern Straight dance category. Because
his dad was a Southern Baptist minister, Zack was not raised in Native American
Culture. Therefore, he got a late start in Native American Culture. In 1995 he attended
the World Championship of Song & Dance hosted by the Mashantuckett Pequot Tribe
in Connecticut. He won 1st place in his dance category and the title of World Champion.
In 1991, Zack began traveling with Native American dance Troupes and has traveled
to 15 foreign Countries and throughout the United States, and is currently a member
of the Oklahoma Fancy Dancers dance troupe.
Zack is very honored to donate the Signed and Numbered Limited Edition print of
himself in traditional dance regalia. The artist is Sam Echols of Oklahoma City,
OK.
