Eugene Bowie Roberts, Jr. moved on to greener pastures on April 18th at the age of 80, in the presence of his beloved wife and daughter.
Born October 16, 1939 in Washington, DC to Eugene Bowie Roberts and Cornelia Széchényi Roberts, he grew up on Fairwood Farm in Prince George’s County, MD. This was the place he later described as the most beautiful on earth, and it was here that he developed an early and lifelong love of Angus cattle, maintaining a herd from the age of seven until the early 1990s. He grew to be a man of drive, and integrity and measured passions.
He briefly attended the Potomac School and was in the Class of 1957 at St. Albans School, which provided him with lifelong friends. He attended Yale University on what he called the “extended warranty 7 year plan”, taking off time to work at Penn State’s Department of Animal Husbandry where he lived in beef barns while working for Herman Purdy the legendary cattle judge and Angus breeder. Roberts would joke that he got his degree from Yale, but his education from Penn State.
His service in the Peace Corps 1964-66 as a Community Developer, Agricultural Extensionist, and Volunteer Coordinator for Agricultural Projects in Colombia, South America, furnished him with enduring skills, stories, and friendships.
After briefly working in Mayor John Lindsay’s Office in New York City, and on a congressional campaign, he began his professional career at Robert R. Nathan Associates, a Washington-based consulting company working on poverty, labor and health care. He then earned his MBA in Finance at the University of Chicago in 1975. He rose to be Senior Director of Planning at Northwest Industries, under the direction of Ben Heineman, managing the long-range plan of the diversified holding company, whose operating companies included Lone Star Steel and Fruit of the Loom, among many others.
It was through his good friend Sedgwick Mead that Roberts was introduced to Lynn Springer, of St Louis, Missouri in 1978. Upon Lynn moving to Chicago to take on the role of Curator of European Decorative Arts at the Art Institute of Chicago, they became reacquainted and ultimately married on July 10, 1982. Later he said that there are several steps to leading a happy life: the first is to marry Lynn Springer. They respected and supported each other’s interests and built a beautiful, fulfilling life together in Chicago and later Maryland. He explained, she took the puzzle pieces of his life and made him whole.
The family farm, “Fairwood”, shifted from livestock to turfgrass production in the mid-1960s, and after his father died in 1983, Roberts managed what was now “Fairwood Turf Farm”, one of the largest in Maryland. He relished his work there, and after several years of commuting from Chicago, the family, which now included a daughter, Anne, moved to Upper Marlboro, MD where Roberts threw himself into local business and farming projects. He served as President of the Greater Bowie Chamber of Commerce and of the Maryland Turfgrass Association, on the Boards of the Maryland Turfgrass Council and the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation, and on the Maryland Agriculture Commission. Most recently he has served as a Trustee and Chair of the Audit and Agriculture Committees for the Accokeek Foundation. He advised on several Angus herds in Maryland and Virginia and was a longstanding member of the Vansville Farmers Club of Prince George’s County, as his father and grandfather had been since the 19th century.
He was able to maintain Fairwood as a successful farm for longer than many, including his father, thought possible. As a planner, he recognized Washington’s expansion into Prince George’s County, and with siblings, Bowie cousins, and the neighboring DeClairmont family,...
