Latham Family to be Recognized as the 2020 Alumni Honored Family Panhandle State Communications on 03/05/2021
The Panhandle State Association of Alumni and Friends is proud to announce that the 2020 Honored Family is the Latham family. Although the honoring ceremony was postponed due to COVID-19, we are pleased to continue our tradition. The Latham family will be recognized in April at the OPSU College Rodeo.
The Lathams have been a vital part of the Oklahoma Panhandle State University family for several years. Their story begins with three people that would set up the Latham family to carry on a legacy, Deke Latham, “Doc” Lynn Gardner, and Robert Etbauer. “Doc” recruited Deke to rodeo for him at Panhandle State where he met Robert, and the rest was history.
