Randy Curry, president of Western Oklahoma State College presents a plaque

afterward, Tate began making a name for himself in the professional rodeo
circuit, winning several calf roping titles, including the Dodge National
Circuit Finals and Prairie Circuit Champion. In 1987, he founded the "Mo"
Betta clothing company which became wildly successful after rodeo cowboys
and country music superstars began wearing his shirt designs. Tate
operated the Cody Nite Rodeo in Cody, Wy. and is a Professional rodeo
Cowboy Association livestock contractor.
