Almost 90 years old - he deserves a rest;)

I guess his ‘wind farm’ didn’t pan out.................

Recall a great story about Pickens he said work ethic is the most important trait for business - he had a paper route during the depression, when his mother asked how much he had saved he had almost $300 at 12 years old during the depression!

Surprised Oklahoma State hasn’t made it official and renamed themselves, “T. Boone Pickens U”.

Oklahoma State owes him a lot. I remember the old aluminum benches at Lewis Field.

Now first class facilities and well paid coaches are at least making them competitive.

Great guy but I remember how he jumped in with both feet to the whole wind power game:

I’m pretty sure that came up snake eyes.

Wonder if that includes water rights, or they’re part of what he sold off for $103 million already.

America will be better off with him gone. He was a huge Obama supporter in 2008, and even backed his green technology plans to shutdown the fossil fuel industry.

The guy used his money to help get Obama elected. So in my book he is just as responsible for tens of millions of small businesses shutting down while putting tens of millions of Americans, like myself out of work.

T. Boone Picken, you can kiss my ass, and take the next bus to hell.

I remember when Bear Bryant retired, he was dead within a few months.

I suspect the same will be true of Pickens.

There will be a long line in his grave yard.

So, did J F’n Kerry ever deliver his Form 180 and collect Boone’s $$?

T. Boone...is larger than life. Back in the 80s a comic strip called him T-Bone. I wish him well in retirement...

[Osage Orange]

This article or info...is way old news.

Just saying.............

He wants to spend more time with his family.
