Abstract

A native Houstonian, Mr. Kirkland tells of his early years in Houston and his time at prep school before going to Princeton. He recalls early job hunting before deciding to enter the banking business. He tells about his family and his activities in both World Wars. Serving on the Houston School Board and the City Council, his interest in community affairs expanded with his appointment to the Board of Trustees of Rice Institute in 1946, and later to the Board of TMC.
