The day after the 2005 Holiday Bowl, I met a guy at the San Diego airport. Wish I could remember his name.
We talked about a lot of things, then the subject turned to his business associate. Aubrey McClendon. I didn't know much about Aubrey back then. The guy started telling me about Aubrey's vision for Oklahoma City, all the things he wanted his hometown to become. How Aubrey wanted to transform this place.
Seemed a little ambitious.
I've thought a lot about that conversation over the last decade. Every time Aubrey had his hand in changing OKC for the better.
