Big news up here in Tulsa where I work..About 10-12 co-workers who are all OSU season ticket holders. University can’t wait to spend all the money they just inherited. I met Pickens on several business projects and he was always kind. RIP indeed
One of my favorite quotes (and a personal motto of sorts) is "people remember how you made them feel."I had a single meeting with Boone Pickens around 1990. I was a 20-something whose job was to interview high-net-worth people for non-profits ahead of capital campaigns for goal-setting purposes. Often, I was treated like a nuisance, and understandably.
Pickens could not have been more gracious. Gave me a solid 40 minutes in his office, with his full attention, offering thoughtful answers and shooting straight about his giving intentions.
When someone treats you well without having any reason to do so, it reveals a lot. I was totally impressed; not surprised to hear Froggish speak well of him.
