Not well-regarded here in Pittsburgh. His hostile takeover activity cost the area a lot of jobs in the late 70’s.

I loved the guy. Arranged a meeting in Florida for him to meet possible donors and supporters for a presidential campaign. It was the best meeting they had in Florida. Met him again at a speech he gave in Dallas. I always loved his mind, he would have been a great Prez..

I have some of his writings. He was a great man who seems actually simple, not the least bit pretentious.

He accepted his age with grace but always seemed to have a few irons in the fire.

He spoke at Vanderbilt’s Owen Graduate School of Management when I was a student there.

He said the banks would loan him money because he could explain clearly what he planned to do. And that if he couldn’t explain it clearly, he didn’t deserve to get the money.

He was big on wrecking the countryside with farms of thousands of those wretched giant propellers called windmill.

RIP... A lot of Fr's posted about him back in the day. Aka, his wind-power push was akso about how he wanted to corner water etc etc. What I heard him say once he sold Bush & Cheney on making us a natural gas centric economy, they agreed, & did nothing. I find that real interesting.....

RIP.

He wanted to be T-Bone Pickens, but Watkins in accounting already had the name.

Sorry to hear of him passing.

There are no replacements for some people.

Pickens practically remade Oklahoma State athletics.

I remember attending games at the old Lewis Field. Sitting on the aluminum benches. I haven’t been back since the remodeled stadium but it sure looks nice.

Has traitor Kerry ever collected the $1M reward for disproving any of the Swift boat vets claims?
