I figured Ted Turner would be in there.
I remember he and "Hanoi Jane" bought some 43k acres to help bring back bison but I thought that was in Wyoming.
I've been a party to survey a number of huge tracts - i.e. over 2000 acres. it ain't fun. They were always a "work in progress" with multiple crews from multiple companies. On rare occasion we would run into each other.
Those place needed their own maps. We got lost often.
" I figured Ted Turner would be in there."
Check the pictures on the cover of the magazine - he is No.2
I've worked for several of the #30 over the years. Five of the ancestors were brothers and Founding Fathers here... a wonderful family.

Nope, not Wyoming. In the Big Sky Country of Montana.
The largest period, and they should not be, is the Federal Government.:bad:

Actually, that was my initial thought.
Always stick with you first answer as they say.
#1 is an electrical engineer with a PhD
Who would have ever thought of that?!
#1 is an electrical engineer with a PhD
He has a lot of degrees: undergraduate electrical engineering and economics, masters in electrical engineering and one in industrial management and his PhD is in Operations Research, but he has been more of a business man than any of those technical degrees would suggest.
#1 is an electrical engineer with a PhD
Industrial management was generally considered a joke when I was in the corporate world. I worked with a girl who had a masters in that from GA Tech. While I would normally consider that impressive, she was dumber than a bucket of scat. I often wondered how she manage to pull that degree off until I was out with her a few times for happy hour drinks and got to know her a little bit.
Foremost is she was VERY VERY easy on the eyes and nothing short of a total flirt. It didn't take much reading between the lines for me to figure out how she got that degree. (if you know what I mean, wink wink)
Janice and I are good friends with the Moursund Family at No. 89.
Will Stribling Moursund is also my Attorney.
Their ranch headquarters in Round Mountain Texas is about 5 miles from my house.
Turner has a large ranch in northern New Mexico as well. I surveyed a pipeline route across it about ten years back. The ranch foreman was my escort for the preliminary target location selection. We drove right up to large buffalo bulls... very impressive. He told me a story of turner's attempt to transplant a prairie dog colony so a family of black footed ferrets would have a food source. He said the local badgers made quick work of the prairie dogs and turner's experiment failed.
