The Alan Still Nacogdoches Chapter Safari Club Scholarship was established in 2005 by The Piney Woods Chapter of Safari Club International.
Born February 18, 1949, Still was one of five boys born to John Charles and Margaret Barrett Still. Still attended Nacogdoches public schools and was a member of the Dragon football team during high school. He enrolled at SFA in 1967 with a major in accounting and a minor in agriculture. He was a member of Phi Delta fraternity and served as its president during his senior year. Still earned his bachelor’s degree from SFA in 1970.
In April 1970, he married Jeannette Ellen Cox and the couple relocated to Houston where he worked as an accountant and she taught school. The couple returned to Nacogdoches in 1973, and Still began work with Heins Farm Equipment as business manager. He and business partner Andy Fish bought the company in 1978, and the dealership became known as Fish and Still Farm Equipment.
In 1988 the company moved to the west loop from its original location on Highway 59 south. It moved to its current location in 2001. The company received a “Gold Star” rating for two years, and, in 2005 was presented a “Gold Medallion” rating from John Deere. The company also was listed at the No. 2 spot for total volume of hay equipment sales.
The Stills have two children, Jonathan and Allison. Still was an avid hunter and golfer before his death on August 12, 2005.
