Templeton resident George R. Hearst, Jr., supported TCLA's goal to build a town library with an 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. In 2020 when Templeton Library was completed, a reading area with a large leather chair and cowhide rug was designated to honor this savvy horseman.  We later received from his son his NY Hearst Corp Board Room chair that he used for over 30 years.
