The Clements Center mourns the death yesterday of Frank Denius. We have lost a great American, a great Texan, a great supporter of our university, and a great friend of the Clements Center.  To know Frank was to be inspired by him, a man of uncommon decency, steel courage, abiding kindness, and abundant generosity.  Though we miss him, we dedicate ourselves anew to honoring his legacy and carrying it forward for generations to come.
