The founding fathers of the Texas Farm Bureau Radio Network include Curt Lancaster, seated, and left to right standing, Gene Hall, Vernie Glasson, Texas Farm Bureau Chief Operating Officer, and Tom Nicolette. Gene said, “Vernie's support was critical when Curt and I launched this thing in 2001, and Tom joined soon after. We are tickled at what it's become. Vernie and Curt will be retiring this year. Tom and I will try to keep it going.”
