John Cargile

John Cargile has had a deep and abiding interest in geography and travel all his life—from the time he was first introduced as a child in Fort Worth to Richard Halliburton’s Book of Marvels. That passion has motivated many of his life’s decisions.

In 1978 he had the occasion with Rudi Steele to create a new travel agency—Rudi Steele Travel, Inc., which is now the oldest independently owned travel agency in Dallas.

John and Rudi make several international trips a year, and their travels have taken them around the globe numerous times.
