R. Bowen Loftin says goodbye (for now) to Aggieland

Key quotes from R. Bowen Loftin interview:

"I love Texas A&M, I love our students, and former students. Its always been for the institution and people first."

"Just spending a minute in the suites saying 'thank you' to the donors goes a long way. It builds a lot of support."

"I have bobbleheads. I have one of me, Gabe, and Billy. Mine is the tallest, then Gabe's, then Billy's."

"Right now, I am in the midst of packing up three places. We expect to roll out on the 24th and be in Missouri by the 25th."

"That's where my day is happiest, when I am around the students."

"Occasionally, when a parent can't be there, I'm happy to step in and give a student their Aggie Ring."

"I'm going to keep the @aggieprez Twitter handle dormant, in case a new President comes and wants to use it to interact with students."

"My new Twitter for Missouri, will be @bowtieger to show my love for bow ties and Missouri's mascot." (for A&M related Tweets, you can find Loftin at @aggieprezemeri)

"One day of my tenure that really comes to mind was in Spring 2010, the entire Corps of Cadets marched right in front of my house."

"Being in Indianapolis watching the women's team win the Championship, that was really awesome."

"You can't change who you are. You can't change where you come from. The Aggie roots will always be there."
