Northeast Texas has had a strong connection to a leading evangelical center of higher learning, Dallas Baptist University. From 1979 to 1987, W. Marvin Watson, a former chief of staff for President Lyndon Johnson and long-term resident of Daingerfield, served as the university’s president. In 2009 DBU dedicated its landmark chapel, an 8-million-dollar gift from Lonnie (Bo) and Patty Pilgrim of Pittsburg. Five years later, one of the top Presidential Scholars of NTCC honors history, Noah Griffin, a member of the All-USA, top-twenty national team, transferred to DBU.
