Pete, I do a little blog about Texas history and my grandparents and parents live right on the borderline of Wilbarger and Wichita Counties, so I have heard about the ranch all my life. If your Buick article can be shared, I would enjoy reading it.

I was looking for information on Electra Waggoner Biggs and came upon this thread. Concerning the Lockheed Electra airliner, Electra Waggoner Biggs and her daughter participated in a "branding" of the "new" Electra that was to fly out of Dallas Love Field on May 17, 1959. They branded the aircraft with letters spelling out Dallas. Never was able to figure out who at Lockheed (if anyone) was responsible for the name of the airliner being Electra. Also, it is odd that they would reuse a name that had been used earlier for the two engine aircraft that Amelia Earhart was flying when her aircraft disappeared.
