Wildcatter Clayton Williams Remembered as ‘Giant Among Texans’

摘要

Legendary oilman Clayton Williams Jr., 88, who built an oil and gas empire in West Texas and made one unsuccessful bid to become the state’s governor, died Friday. Claytie, as he was known to colleagues, was the son of Clayton and Chicora Lee Graham. He graduated from Texas A&M University in 1954 with a degree in animal husbandry and like his father, served in the U.S. Army.
