Email From Millennium Futurity Manager
I would like to thank Mr. Bill Davidson-Millennium Futurity Manager for his resent email about a post on this site. The email was very respectfull and he emailed me directly about correcting some information in the post, not a mass email to everyone. I am going to sure the important parts with you know…. He wrote….
“On your website, you indicated Don L. King attended the 2009 Millennium Futurity. Mr. King did attend this year’s futurity, along with 340 other persons. Some had never been involved with Texas Longhorns before.
The Millennium Futurity was put together “to promote the Texas Longhorn Industry, and to have a good time”. Nothing else! For 10 years we have accomplished our goal.
The Millennium Futurity has never had a closed or private meeting in its entire history!!
Mr. King did not attend our sponsors’ meeting held during the legacy event this spring or at any other time!”
I have no reason to doubt Mr. Davidson on the information that he has provided. What was post earlier was based on counts provided by several individuals. Mr. Davidson is also right about it being a fun event, I have attend and participated in it several times myself. Again Thank You to Bill for his respectfull email correcting this information.
I also received another email from a Millennium Futurity partner that was respectfull and polite that wanted it noted that not all Millennium Futurity partners were happy to see Mr. King. Most were not but a number of them were apperantly okay we his being there.
