blast victims
to start over
FORT WORTH (AP) — Mer
chants who lost their businesses in an
explosion that rocked the downtown
district say rebuilding their liveli
hoods from the piles of rubble will
not be easy.
“We just have to start over,” said
Barbara Whalley, the owner and sole
employee of Thompson’s Book
Store.
“But you can’t just start over,” she
said. “All of our stock was in there.”
Along with Whalley, five other
Throckmorton Street merchants lost
their businesses in a Sunday explo
sion that sent businesses crashing
into rubble and shattering panes of
glass from others nearby.
Damage was estimated at about
$730,000.
Whalley said she would wait until
workers salvaged the remaining con
tents of her store before deciding if
she would reopen.
“I’m kind of in a state of shock,”
Whalley said.
Around lunchtime Monday,
James Woolsey pointed at a crowd of
suit-clad businessmen staring at his
leveled sandwich shop.
“That’s some of my customers
right there,” Woolsey said.
Just last month, Woolsey made
the last payment on his business
loan.
“We get it paid and boom — we
have to start over,” Woolsey said.
“But that’s the way life is.”
A few doors down, E.M. Pack
stared at the ruins of his optometry
shop.
For 15 years Pack had run the
shop with his son.
He said he plans to relocate.
“It’s difficult when it’s where you
make a living, as opposed to where
you live,” Pack said. “If it’s your
house, you can always have some
where to sleep.”
The merchants mingled in the
rubble while investigators waited
close at hand.
“We were all pretty close,” said
Omar Ochoa, an employee at Ca
sey’s restaurant, a hamburger shop
demolished by the blast. “We all
knew each other.”

A Texas A&M management class
has been presented with an award
for being the most innovative busi
ness course offered in the South
west.
The course, Management 489,
Special Topics in Entrepreneurship,
received the award Nov. 12 from the
Southern Business Administration
Association, a group of business
schools in the Southwest primarily
represented by deans.
Van Fleet teaches the theoretical
side, then Williams comes in and tea
ches from the practical standpoint of
someone who’s really out there, Hitt
said.
Williams flies in from Midland ev
ery other week and talks about his
personal experiences with the topics
being discussed in the textbook, he

been outstanding.
Several of these student responses
were submitted as part of the propo
sal and he says he is sure they were
instrumental in getting the award.
One student said, “My enthusiasm
is greater than ever. I am excited. I
love it. I will be an entrepreneur —

Hitt said the course was chosen
for the award out of 40 entries.
Judging criteria include innovation
in curriculum, course benefits, and
adaptability to other schools.
Hitt said the course is innovative
because it is team-taught by a mem
ber of the faculty. Dr. Ella Van Fleet,
and by a practicing entrepreneur,
Clayton Williams.
said.
“He doesn’t always talk about his
successes,” Hitt said. “He’s a very
open person. He talks about his fail
ures too. Everything relates to the
material being covered in the book
by Dr. Van Fleet. So students get the
best of both worlds.”
Hitt said as a department head, he
usually hears the complaints stu
dents have about their courses. But
he said the course evaluations for
no doubt about it.”
Another aspiring entrepreneur
said, “On the one hand, I have
learned there is money waiting to be
had, but on the other hand, it can
only be had through dedication, dil
igence and plain old hard work. ... I
feel very enthusiastic because I see
that the old adage, ‘Where there is a
will, there is a way’ still remains
true.”
Another student said, “Hearing
