RANDOLPH “RANDY” DEER N’48

If you looked at a list of the working life accomplishments of Randolph “Randy” Deer N’48, you’d think he was all business. But digging deeper, you’d come to suspect, not surprisingly, that he might have looked at life as more of an art.

Deer, who died Sept. 17, 2021, in Naples, Florida, found a lot of success early at Culver. At Culver Summer Naval School, Randy was Naval Company 1 commander, battalion commander and received the Fowler Cup as the most outstanding midshipman of his class. After graduating from high school he went on to earn a BS in business from Indiana University, and served in the U.S. Army as a first lieutenant, operating a petroleum laboratory. In 1954 he joined the family business, Bonded Oil Company, and served as the executive vice president.

In 1975, Randy acquired Pepsi Cola Bottling Company of Logansport and South Bend. Shortly thereafter, he founded Interactions Incorporated, which included the Pepsi Cola facilities, a real estate development company, four farming operations, a polled-Hereford breeding operation, two restaurant operations, and an equipment leasing operation.

Randy served as chairman of the board for 46 years for Interactions Incorporated. In 2005, he purchased an Oregon-based emerging chocolate company, Endangered Species Chocolate, and moved their operations to Indianapolis. Randy served as its chairman of the board.

Outside of the business world, Randy served as a patron for many art and education institutions. He served the Indianapolis Museum of Art as a lifetime trustee, member of the board of governors, vice president, vice chair, and chairman of the board.

But that passion for the arts was also keenly felt at Culver.

The most easily identifiable evidence is the gallery at the Crisp Visual Arts Center that bears his name. On the occasion of the opening of that gallery, he donated nearly a dozen paintings to the Culver Art Collection, including some he had painted himself.

“Randy Deer is one of the kindest people I have known in my work as curator of the Culver Art Collection,” Academies fine arts instructor Robert Nowalk said. “He provided the funding to construct the Deer-Zink Gallery without any expectations of its design. He simply trusted Culver’s care for his gift.” When Culver opened the Crisp Visual Arts Center in 2011, the opening exhibit was Treasures from the Culver Collection. During the opening, Nowalk said, “Randy pulled me aside and said he was so pleased with what he saw that he would like to send us several works from his personal collection to allow us more latitude in connecting future art exhibitions to the academic curriculum. “Over the next few years he sent us 17 paintings, including examples of French and American Impressionism. Randy’s legacy is Randy Deer present in the work we do for our students. His spirit will always be with us.” But his support of Culver, for which he often did not seek recognition, also extended elsewhere, from scholarships to Culver Summer Schools & Camps to ensure other young people could receive the same Culver summer experience, to renovations of the Memorial Chapel and the Naval Building, to the Culver Fund. In July 2016, Randy was Culver’s guest of honor when he was given the Culver Summer Schools & Camps Distinguished Service Award. That was just one of many awards he received for his service to the various communities in which he moved. He also received the Sagamore of the Wabash Award from the State of Indiana. He received an Honorary Doctor of Humanities Award from Wabash College in 1993. Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis awarded Randy its Spirit of Philanthropy Award. Randy received the inaugural Distinguished Service Award from the Indianapolis Museum of Art; an honorary professor in painting award from the Herron School of Art and Design; and an honorary doctorate in humane services from Indiana University. He is survived by three children, Jenny; Colby; and David; 15 grandchildren; and 20 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by a sister, brother, Donald N’44, daughter and former wife, Darlene.

WILLIAM ALVIN “TEX” MONCRIEF JR. ’37

William Alvin “Tex” Moncrief Jr. ’37

(Artillery), died on Dec. 29, 2021, at the age of 101. And to anyone who knew him and even part of his life story, living to such a ripe old age ranks among the more minor achievements in the tale of Tex.

According to his official obituary, on the occasion of his 101st birthday, he reflected on that long, larger-than-life lifetime: “I guess you could say I have seen and done a whole lot of things in my lifetime.”

A philanthropist and an oilman, Tex was often described by others as a “wildcatter.”

His story began with his birth on the kitchen table in Hot Springs, Arkansas on March 27, 1920, to William Alvin “Monty” and Elizabeth Moncrief. In 1931, at the age of 11, Tex watched his father bring in a massive oil well in Gregg County. “It was just the greatest thing I ever saw,” he remembered. “People were jumping around and hollering and hugging each other just like they’d won a football game. I decided on the spot that I wanted to become an oilman.”

That was one big lifetime milestone.

The next was arguably in 1934, when Tex’s parents dropped him off at Culver, then promptly departed.

“‘I sure did think my parents didn’t like me,’ he would say,” remembers James A. Henderson ’52, a longtime friend of Tex’s. “But Tex also would tell those same people that Culver was the most important influence in his life. He wrote in a Culver publication, ‘My tenure at Culver absolutely changed the course of my life for the better and forever.’”

Tex graduated from Culver in 1937, where he was a gunner in the Artillery battalion, back when Culver’s artillery was still horsedrawn. He went on to earn a bachelor of science in petroleum engineering from the University of Texas in 1942.

After working in Fort Worth flight-testing bombers destined for the Allies in World War II, he returned to the East Texas field working for Stanolind Oil. Tex then joined the United States Navy, serving in the Pacific. On the island of Saipan, Tex watched American B-29s carrying the first atomic bombs take off from Tinian Island for Japan, and unconditional surrender.

After retiring from the Navy, Tex joined his father at Moncrief Oil. The father-son business became immensely successful, with oil discoveries in East Texas, Louisiana, West Texas, New Mexico, Florida, and the Rockies.

Tex served on the University of Texas board of regents, receiving the distinguished alumnus award. Tex was a lifelong supporter of the Longhorns. In Fort Worth, his vision inspired the merger of the Moncrief Radiation Center with University of Texas Southwest, creating the Moncrief Cancer Center.

Culver was among the many places to benefit from Tex’s generosity as well.

“When John Mars became Culver’s Superintendent in the late 1970s, a time of financial difficulty for Culver, he asked Tex ‘to help me save the school’,” Henderson recalled. “Tex responded generously and he and his family have been loyal and generous ever since. Tex was a hero to Culver and to me personally. We will miss him.”

Tex was a lifetime member and supporter of Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church as were his mother and father.

He was preceded in death by his father and mother, brother Richard Barto, wife Deborah Beggs, and three children: daughter Monty Francine, sons John Herbert ’62 and Charles Beggs ‘67. Tex is survived by his loving and much-loved wife Linda; sons W.A. Moncrief III, Richard Wesley Moncrief ‘60 and Tom Oil Moncrief, stepchildren Debbie Johnson Ryan and Dr. Harold V. Johnson ‘59; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In high school, Macy was a star soccer player and a bicyclist who often raced locally. He taught himself to ride a unicycle and would ride it everywhere, including to the convenience store where he would enter the store, ride to the back, grab a carton of milk, pay, and ride home. After graduating from Country Day, he attended and played soccer for the University of Miami, and later pursued an architecture degree at the University of Florida in Gainesville.

Macy heralded from a long lineage of inventors, artisans and musicians. He became an accomplished boater and sailor, crewing on a transatlantic race and Mediterranean cruise. He also became a delivery captain for his uncle, Charles Teetor, relocating yachts large and small up and down the East coast. He learned to fly, earning instrument, multi- engine and instructor certifications. He loved to fish in the Amazon, South Pacific and Costa Rica, and hunt in Mexico and Canada.

JOHN RUAN III ’61

In one sense, one could say many Culver students quite literally would not be where they are today if it weren’t for John Ruan III ’61. But that thinking can be applied figuratively to the legacy he leaves behind, both for Culver and for the world at large. John, 78, of Des Moines, Iowa, and a graduate of Troop B, died Sept. 11, 2021, after a long illness. As chairman of Ruan Transportation Management Systems, John was in a unique position to aid Culver in its sucJohn Ruan lll cess. On a day-to-day level, his logistical support of the Troop and Equestriennes was important. If it wasn’t for his transportation support, our horses and riders, not to mention all their equipment, and even hay, would have been more difficult for the school to bring to Culver’s traditional Inaugural rides.

But as a member of the Culver Educational Foundation Board of Trustees, John helped see Culver through what was arguably one of its most transformative times. He joined this board in 1999. That same year Culver had a new head of schools, and was soon to have a new commandant and new dean of girls. Not only that, but it would also not be long before Culver would embark on its most ambitious, and most successful, campaign in its history, despite the trying financial climate in the early 2000s.

John’s service to others though went far, far beyond Culver and his home state of Iowa.

His father resurrected and brought the World Food Prize to Des Moines. The World Food Prize fights hunger and food insecurity in the world and recognizes innovators in those areas.

Under John’s leadership, the scope of the World Food Prize’s scope in fulfilling that mission, saving countless people from hunger and starvation.

“We pride ourselves at Culver in knowing that our graduates will represent our Academies with integrity, will lead their families and their communities by example, and will seek to give back to the world to acknowledge all they were given in life,” said John Buxton, who was Culver’s head of schools during Ruan’s tenure on the CEF board. “John was a quiet, generous, and positive leader and a fine man. We could not be more proud of him and we at Culver will miss him.”

He was a strong advocate for truck drivers and the transportation industry. He also served on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce board of directors and chaired the U.S. Chamber board in 2011.

John received his BA in business administration from Northwestern University and is a graduate of the Program for Management Development at Harvard Business School.

John is survived by his wife of 50 years, Janis; their two children, John Ruan IV (Alison), and Rachel McLean (Ben); and grandchildren, Abigail, John, Catherine, Jack and Emma.

He was preceded in death by his sister, Jayne (Ruan) Fletcher; and his brother, Thomas.

Mars Award in 1990, given to the faculty member who best exemplified the ideals of Culver.

She was born on November 22, 1946 to Fred and Juanita (nee Britton) Moss. She attended Pettit Park Junior High in Kokomo, Indiana, where she met her husband of 51 years, Tony Mayfield, in 7th grade.
