When the oil & gas company (Santa Fe Snyder Corporation) I was working at as an Executive Secretary was sold, I was laid off. I then went to work at Cameron Management, a commercial real estate company. While working as the Executive Assistant to Mr. Dougal Cameron from 2001 to 2015, I had the opportunity to serve as the company’s Newsletter Editor-in-Chief for all of their Houston and San Antonio office buildings until I retired. Their property in downtown Houston bounded by Travis, Rusk, Walker, and Milam are the two historic Esperson Buildings. Before I retired from the company, I researched the story about The Magnificent Espersons (pdf).
