We just got back from Weatherford, TX where we spent Thanksgiving with family. While there, Larry Hagman, a Weatherford native, died. In his obit they mentioned that he used to work for Jess Hall Jr's. oil tool company. Also, in his autobiography (
page 189), his admits that Jess was his model for J.R. Ewing in
Dallas.
Rest in Peace, Major Nelson!

p.s. Jess Hall's seasonings are now carried at Walmart in selected Southwest stores.
