→The JA Ranch today
In 1935, after Hobart's death, the management of the JA passed to Mrs. Adair's grandson, [[Montie Ritchie|Montgomery Harrison Wadsworth Ritchie]], son of Jack Rithie. He managed the ranch, along with another spread in Colorado, until his retirement in 1993. The ranch then passed to Montie Ritchie's daughter, Cornelia Wadsworth "Nina" Ritchie, later the first wife of Republican Texas State Senator Teel Bivins of Amarillo, from whom she was divorced. Andrew M. Bivins, the son of Teel and Nina Bivins, since joined the JA management team. Teel Bivins served prior to his death in 2006 as U.S. Ambassador to [[Sweden]] during the second administration of [[U.S. President]] [[George W. Bush]].<ref name=PPHM/>
