Dr. Gregory and Margie Dess
The Wildenthal Society Members
For generations, the families of Dr. Gregory and Margie Dess have placed a high value on education, something they consider to be a powerful force in changing the world. The couple’s passion for learning and strong relationship with The University of Texas System, including UT Southwestern Medical Center, is what led them to establish a charitable gift annuity with Southwestern Medical Foundation.
"The value of the education at UTSW is astounding! We are very happy to be able to give back and support UTSW in some small way."
