Per Wikipedia, Robert Samuel Kerr (1896 - 1963) Was An American Businessman And Politician From Oklahoma. Kerr Formed A Petroleum Company Before Turning To Politics. Kerr Used His New Family Connections To Enter The Oil Business With His Brother-In-Law, James L. Anderson, As His Partner. By 1929 The Anderson-Kerr Drilling Company Had Become So Prosperous That Kerr Abandoned His Law Practice To Focus On Oil. Anderson Retired In 1936, And Dean A. Mcgee, Former Chief Geologist For Phillips Petroleum, Joined The Firm, Which Changed Its Name In 1946 To Kerr-Mcgee Oil Industries, Incorporated. Kerr-Mcgee Diversified Into Global Drilling For Petroleum And Processed Other Fuels And Minerals, Including Uranium And Helium. He Served As The 12Th Governor Of Oklahoma From 1943 To 1947 And Was Elected Three Times To The United States Senate. Kerr Worked Natural Resources, And His Legacy Includes Water Projects That Link The Arkansas River Via The Gulf Of Mexico. He Was The First Oklahoma Governor Born In The Territory Of The State. Kerr's Activism On Natural Gas Regulation Quickly Won Him A Reputation Among His Colleagues For Being A Staunch Defender Of His Region And Its Special Interests, Including His Own Petroleum Company. His Personality Reinforced These First Impressions. Kerr's Colleagues Widely Considered Him A Brilliant Debater Who Overwhelmed His Opponents With His Passion And His Mastery Of Policy Detail.Kerr's Chief Legacy For The State Of Oklahoma Is A Series Of Water Projects And Dams That Made The Arkansas River Into A Navigable Inland Waterway System.
