He and his wife, Marilyn, have two children, Stacey and Scott. Richardson worked for Shell Oil Company for more than thirty years, retiring as the company's President and CEO. Since Richardson's retirement from Shell, Frank and Marilyn reside in Houston, TX and remain active volunteers within the community. The two also remain active with SDSM& T, currently serving as National Co- Chairs in the institution's first- ever capital campaign. " The Mines provided me a fundamentally sound education that served me well throughout my professional career, " said Richardson. " Marilyn and I think it only fitting to provide future generations assistance in pursuing their educational goals at Mines, " he added. " Frank and Marilyn Richardson have demonstrated their support and commitment to this institution, this state and our nation many times over, " stated Dr. Richard Gowen, SDSM& T President. " This latest gift provides a wonderful opportunity to recognize the student excellence that exists on our campus. The establishment of the Richardson Outstanding Scholars Program will forever link the incredible success story of a young man from South Dakota rising to the position of CEO of one of the world's largest companies due in part to the education received at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. It is wonderful to see alumni like Frank personally commit to insure that future generations are provided the same opportunities." ++ 30++ ( i:\ univrel\ pressrel\ 0399\ Richardson fax\ stwd) |
