I remember an ole woman.....Mrs. King probably.....would ride around checking things out and would randomly have oilfield vehicles searchedCool story!
My first job after college was for a pipeline company. I remember one of the old guys I worked with who talked about constructing pipeline through part of the King Ranch. The King folks were not happy at all about the situation, and they insisted that everybody stick to the right-of-way. To insure compliance, they had one of their cowboys watch them from a distance every day, with a Winchester lever action, just to make sure they got the point.

I've delivered to the Santa Fe Ranch down in Linn for a few years and it says East Cattle Company on the entrance.Any of you South Texas guys know the East family down that way?
One of their boys (Mike) graduated in my 1962 class at St. Edward’s High School in Austin.
About half the guys were boarding students, with many of those from South Texas down to Central America.
There was a Nathan East who was an attorney in the Corpus Christi area back in the day. I might be a little off on what his first name was. I'm figuring he's probably passed on by now.Any of you South Texas guys know the East family down that way?
