    Some internet notes on R. Pryor Lucas from the early history of The Texas Hereford Association:
    The late R. Pryor Lucas of Berclair, probably did more to bring about 4,better understanding between the registered Hereford breeders and the commercial ranchers than any other president. , He served two terms, 1948 and 1949.
    In addition to being an up-to-date business man, he had been working with registered Herefords for many years. He was a commercial cattle rancher. While he was still in his teens his father sent him to Kansas City to buy registered bulls. His father, the late Cyrus B. Lucas was at one time president of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association.
    Pryor Lucas knew what it was to handle cattle when conditions were good and when they were bad. His ranching experience included periods of drought and times when there was plenty of moisture. He had sold cattle when they were high and he had sold them when they were low. He brought this valuable training with him to the association and he gave generously of his time.
    He liked people immensely. He was a good mixer and he kept in close touch with cattle conditions in all sections of the United States. Mrs. Lucas shared her husband's liking for cattle and meeting people. She continues to make sales and shows that are not too far from Berclair.
    Pryor Lucas liked to attend auctions. He enjoyed bidding and frequently got cattle in San Antonio.
