This is a hand painted ceramic University of Houston Cougar Decanter, roughly 12 inches high, and produced by the McCormick Distilling Company in 1972.
1970s
1972 Foundation Excellence Campaign Ring
I have very little information on this over sized ring. It was presented to Frank H. Newnam, Jr., P.E., (A&M ’31) in 1972. Newnam had a distinguished career as a Civil Engineer and was responsible for developing the Port of Houston Master Plan. I can only speculate that Newnam contributed his expertise to the development and planning of the future and continued success of the University of Houston.
