TULSA, Okla. — Robert Sa
kowitz says he is bringing the
world to Tulsa — and housing it
in a 70,000-square-foot, two-
level shop as part of south Tul
sa’s new Kensington Galleria.
After long success in his
home base of Houston, and as
well in expansion stores in Dal
las, Midland and Scottsdale,
Ariz., Sakowitz, the company’s
president, chairman of the
board and chief executive offi
cer, says the excitement of
opening a new shop is still
there.
“I don’t think anyone could
put as much energy and effort
into a project and not have
some sense of butterflies, ner
vousness, excitement,” he said
during a recent interview.
Sakowitz, 45, who has made
the International Best Dressed
List more than once, wore a
dark blue pin-stripe suit and
black cowboy boots made of liz
ard.
The fourth-generation re-
tailersmiled frequently, lighting
his eyes and creasing his fore
head. He had an air of confi
dence coupled with a knowl
edge of his business — retail
fashion.
“We think we have a unique
mix of merchandise editing
from resources throughout the
world,” he said of the family
business his great-grandfather
and great-uncle began in Gal
veston in 1902.
“We didn’t bring Dallas or
Houston or New York (to
Tulsa),” he said. “We brought
the world.
“We think we are offering a
different mix of merchandise, a
different environment than
currently exists, both in the
store as well as in Kensington
Galleria,” he said.
Sakowitz said his company’s
key was personalized service,
coupled with quality merchan
dise.
“We think we offer a differ
ent kind of service because it’s
very much a personalized serv
ice not customer service,” he
said, “personal service, ward
robe consultancy and taking
care of customers on a very one-
to-one basis.”
And Tulsa will be up-to-date
in fashion, being offered top-
name fashions at the same time
Sakowitz stocks them in Texas
shops and the same time de
signers ship them to New York
shops, he said.
What if Tulsa isn’t ready for
the latest, the flashiest or the
most exotic fashions? Sakowitz
says he offers a choice.
“You never push anybody
further than they’re willing to
accept,” he said.
“We’re here to say that there
are three different classifica
tions of merchandising we have
in all of our stores,” he said.
“They are called I, D and A —
innovational, that’s about five
percent; directional, that’s
about 30 percent; and accepta-
tional, that’s about 65 percent."
Sakowitz will open a 10,000-
square-foot women’s wear and
gift shop in Tulsa’s Utica Square
next summer.
Sakowitz is said to cater to the
5 percent of buyers who go for
the trendiest, latest clothes.
“Our customers are people
who are interested in their ap
pearance; they’re interested in
quality of product, equality of
make, quality of material or fab
ric, quality of fit, quality of
style,” Sakowitz said. “That’s
why we call it ‘the quality of be
ing special for you.’”
“We appeal to the middle to
upper income and education
structure,” he said.
Sakowitz wants his shop to be
a showplace. The decor fea
tures eye-catching lines and
curves. An array of art is sprin
kled throughout.
“From the moment you walk
into the store you see that it’s
different,” Sakowitz said. "First

7PC wee president to retire
Kyle denies controversy influenced his decisia
United Press International
H UNTS VILLE — Embattled
state prisons administrator Jack
D. Kyle announced his retire
ment Monday amid a manage
ment reorganization that has
raised questions about the cost
of construction contracts and
equipment expenditures.
Kyle, 53, vice president of the
Texas Department of Correc
tions business division, said he
would remain as long as TDC
needed him to train new per
sonnel expected to hired.
He denied his retirement af
ter 26 years had anything to do
with the controversy, and TDC
Board Chairman Robert D.
Gunn backed up that version.
“Believe me, he is retiring on
his own,” Gunn said. “I’ve been
aware of his intentions for al
most a year.”
Kyle said he contemplated
retirement even before two pri
vate ponsulting firms began
looking into the organization of
the second largest prison system
in the country.
Earlier Monday, TDC re
leased Kyle’s resignation letter
to Gunn.
“I plan to retire from the
Texas Department of Correc
tions. The next regular meeting
of the Board of Corrections is
one week away, and manage
ment plans or decisions by the
board should take my retire
ment into consideration,” Kyle
said.
He later said he would stay
on as long as January 1985.
Gunn said the board would
need Kyle’s help for no more
than a month.
As chief administrator in the
business division, Kyle oversaw
finances and property manage
ment.
State Rep. Ray Keller, R-
Duncanville, chairman of the
committee overseeing the TDC,
has called for Kyle’s ouster.
His resignation comes after

uary that they are investigating

neer aboard the empty tanker
American Eagle did not believe
the vessel would sink after an
explosion ripped the forward
section Feb. 26, the crewman
testified Monday.
The ship “listed, then
straightened and seemed sta
ble,” second engineer Omar
Woldtvedt told a marine board
of investigation looking into the
explosion on the vessel and its
sinking the next day.
The Coast Guard and rep
resentatives of the National
Transportation Safety Board
are investigating the explosion
and sinking, which left five
crewmen dead and two others
missing.
“I went ahead with my
shower, had a sandwich and
went to bed,” Woldtvedt said. “I
was not worried because they
told us that we would be towed
in.”
The engineer said he started
to take another shower about 4
p.m. Feb. 27, but the 661-foot
tanker began to break apart.
“I heard a bang — I thought
it might be the bow breaking,”
he said. “I put my clothes back
on. Then the chief engineer
knocked on my door and said,
‘Get your life jacket, we may
have to leave the ship.’ “
Woldtvedt said he could see
the bow moving, but thought it
was possible “the bow would
break clean and leave up sea
worthy.”
As the crew began leaving the
ship, Woldtvedt said, “The life
boat was not in the water yet —
it seemed like it had stopped
and was swinging about 10 feet
from the water. So I crawled
down the ladder and dropped
into the water and started swim

Woldtvedt was rescued by
crewmen on the tug Enterprise.
