Reply #6: He was raised and spent most of his life in Texas

[FarCenter]

Aside from a couple years of prep school, 4 years at Yale, and a couple at Harvard. (and that short spell in Alabama.)

His patrons were the wealthy businessmen and entreprenuers in the energy business, the homebuilding and commercial real estate business, and the military industrial complex -- mainly in Southern California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida.

Companies like Exxon Mobil, Centex, Countrywide, General Dynamics. Entrepreneurs like the Kochs.
