Career highlights and awards

Mississippi State

Kimball was a prominent running back for the Mississippi A & M Aggies of Mississippi A & M University. His playing in the 1911 Egg Bowl, then his position was at end, was cited as 'superb' by the Commercial Appeal.[1] That year Mississippi A & M was invited to its first postseason bowl game, the Bacardi Bowl in Havana, Cuba.[1] He received the most votes of any All-Southern halfback in 1914.[2][3] He was nominated though not selected for an Associated Press All-Time Southeast 1869-1919 era team.[4]

Fish and Game Commission

He was the first Executive Director of the Mississippi Game and Fish Commission,[5][6] appointed to the position in 1932.

Family life

His son Hunter, Jr. was a casualty of the Korean War.

gollark: Just delete everything but native APIs and Lua stuff from `_G`, and then reinitialize everything with PotatoBIOS.
gollark: What if I remove all the CraftOS APIs from my programs before they run? WHAT THEN?

gollark: Can you *do* that?
