Now we have a pretty good idea what Craddick did with his finder's
fee.

Was Craddick at M.Moncrief's wedding like E. Gossage was??
Could this be a brotherhood of O/G pals? When is brother
Jerry Jones going to lease the minerals around the new stadium?
guess it has to be completed first. Then Jones and Gossage can
figure out a strategy to make it work for them. Does this mean
that T. Craddick is now an unlicensed Landman? in an elite ,
self serving brotherhood of Texas Good ole Boy's?
