But I come from a different place and it has made me a different leader. In Midland, Texas, where I grew up, the town motto was, “The sky’s the limit,” and we believed it.There was a restless energy, a basic conviction that with hard work, anybody could succeed and everybody deserved a chance.
22 April 1974, Washington Post, “Midland, Texas: An Energy Crisis Boom Town” by John Painter, Jr., pg. A2:
The Chamber of Commerce has created City of Midland Energy Supply, Inc., to attract even more industry.
“The sky’s the limit in Midland, Texas,” shouted a recent ad sponsored by the chamber and the energy company.
And with the $10 oil price holding firm, it appears the “sky” will remain limitless for a long time to come.
