I can think of nothing that better encapsulates the human spirit than this question.

He still owes Ok State and a lot of other people a lot of money. They will try to sell that ranch to service his debt.

Has it not sold yet?
It went for sale a couple of years ago

That ranch is sweet. We were allowed on it to do some work in the Canadian. It's hard to believe that is the same Canadian River as in Borger.

Not last I heard which was a few weeks ago. Ted Turner looked but apparently laughed at the price.

That ranch isn't near worth what he was asking for it. An auction will clear it properly.

What a mess.

He left A&M because we took away his $25 a semester scholarship. Lots of people wish we hadn't done that, so we would get the money he gave to OK State.

But there's a lot of drama with Boone's money. He pledged a lot of money to WTAMU, and if I recall correctly, they named the business school after him. But he took the money back, I think after he moved his business out of Amarillo.

He was a miserable old coot.

They just announced his body will be embalmed and on eternal display behind glass. I kind of like this.

On the other hand the decision to dress him in a giant orange foam cowboy hat paired with a giant foam #1 finger is just low class.
