Amarillo Native Chooses Home Town Over New York City
An Amarillo figure recalls World War I service as a colonel and division officer before returning home to build business in Amarillo. He values family, friends, and local growth over wealth, arguing the best prizes are found at home. He recounts starting in town to avoid years of proving himself anew in a big city. He later buys a library, starts a hotel sale, and notes a $200000 price with 5 percent commission as example of local opportunities.
