Dr. Larry Rice was selected as the 2006 David E. Bartlett Award recipient and was honored at the SFT/ACT Annual Conference and Symposia held in St. Paul, Minn.

Dr. Rice earned his DVM degree from Texas A&M's veterinary college in 1956 and became a diplomate of the ACT in 1977. In 1976 he began teaching and conducting research at Oklahoma State University.
