Templeton resident George R. Hearst Jr. supported TCLA's goal to build a town library with his early donation of $100,000.  He was a man who personified Ag education and business acumen as an astute cattle rancher.  His career success and quiet manner were steeped in cowboy traditions. When Templeton Library is completed, a reading nook with cowhide rug will be dedicated to this savvy horseman.
