Ted Roden remembered as Odessa benefactor and educator ally
Ted Roden, a self made beer wholesaler and longtime patron of education in Odessa, funded UTPB initiatives and endowed the Pinkie Roden Chair of Entrepreneurship. He quietly supported students, paid tuition for many, donated art and facilities, and backed Texas Tech and the University of Texas at Austin. He was praised as a generous, behind the scenes community force who shaped West Texas education and civic life.
