Thanks for the information. These guys at the Herald are too young to even remember LBJ, but I will remind them.
The night JFK was assassinated a friend of mine was over at the house of one of the "Browns" and Lady Bird called while he was there. Get any closer?
In fact everybody in the Houston home was in shock because all of a sudden, their friend was POTUS.
Brown and Root is one of the largest construction companies in the world so it stands to reason they do very big jobs.
