Julie sat down with Emmy-winning journalist Jeff Crilley in Dallas to discuss Under Texas Skies — covering the wildcatters who drilled dozens of dry holes before striking it rich, the ranching families whose land sat atop massive oil fields, and the legendary names who built fortunes and gave them back through Texas's universities, hospitals, and museums.
