Mildred "Mickey" J. Little

Dr. Little is a fascinating person. I was her secretary in the athletic department at Texas A&M University in early 1970s. It is such a pleasure to read about her life accomplishments. Joanne

Mickey -- As a Former Student of yours, knowing you got one of your degrees from Texas, I still feel compelled to Softly Call The Muster... and answer Here for you as today is April 21st, Aggie Muster. You were a huge influence in my life. I recall all the times I'd drive out to your cabin and help out on your land. We had some good times! Your impact at A&M can still be felt today. The Outdoor Education Institute is still going strong! I am kicking myself that, although you'd been on my...

Oh this hurts my heart.... Mickey was an incredible professor at Texas A&M. After she "retired" and moved to Johnson City, I'd go out to her cabin and bring tools -- chainsaw, axe, saw.... -- and I'd help her out as she shaped her land around her cabin.

I met Mickey on my first Volunteer in Mission trip in 1993 to Costa Rica and we went on many VIM trips after that including St Genevieve, MO, to Mercedes, TX and to Anchorage and Homer, AK, and even worked at Johnson FMC a couple of times. She was very much involved with Mt. Wesley Encampment in Kerrville, TX. She was a member of our camping group for awhile.
She loved sweets and always looked forward to my bringing her turtles. My late husband, Carl, made her a birdhouse and put a...

Condolences and prayers to her sweet family who took such great care of her. Many blessings to you all! Dr. Little was one of my professors at Mary Hardin- Baylor. She was indeed very special and will be missed.
