COLLEGE STATION – Mary Keough Ledman (’90) and Doug Duncan (’89) were recently inducted into the Tyrus R. Timm Honor Registry in the department of agricultural economics at Texas A&M University.
The induction ceremony was held at the Agriculture and Life Sciences Building in College Station with Dr. Parr Rosson, department head, leading the program. Ledman and Duncan also gave seminar presentations to faculty, graduate students and honor registry members.
“We are extremely pleased to honor these individuals who have not only excelled professionally, but have exhibited leadership in both business and local communities,” Rosson said. “They exemplify what this registry is all about and reflect the core values of Texas A&M: excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect and selfless service.”
The registry recognizes outstanding former students for meritorious accomplishments in their fields. It is the highest department-level honor and is named after Tyrus R.

Timm was known for his knowledge of finance and agricultural banking.
