Boone Pickens was a speaker at The Concordia 2016 Summit (a public-private conference, whatever that means) this week and did an interview with Tom Brokaw. In it he talked about why he will never retire and relayed a great Bill Snyder (yes, Kansas State’s Bill Snyder) story.
“I love to work,” Pickens said. “And people say to me, ‘Well, Boone, you’re 88 years old. You really should retire.’ Well, to hell with you. I’m not going to retire.”
Yep, that sounds about right. Here’s the Snyder story.
“He’s 10 years younger than me,” said Pickens of Snyder.
