Stanley Marsh 3 is an Amarillo rancher, philanthropist, and patron of unique artistic projects including the Ozymandias, the Dynamite Museum, and Cadillac Ranch. Other notable Amarillo residents past and present are poker player T. A. “Amarillo Slim” Preston, millionaire Stanley Marsh 3, oilman T. Boone Pickens, Jr., the late United States Ambassador to Sweden Teel Bivins, and former FDIC Chairman Don Powell. Amarillo’s heroes include Thomas E. Creek, U.S. Marine Corps Medal of Honor recipient, and astronauts Paul Lockhart and Rick D. Husband. Astronaut Rick D. Husband, who grew up in Amarillo, was commander of the space shuttle Columbia and died during its catastrophic disintegration upon re-entry in 2003. His life and service to the nation is commemorated by the naming of the city’s airport as the Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport where a statue has been erected in his honor. Chapter 1 25
