Abstract:
When Volney H. Kyle, Jr., president of North Carolina Natural Gas Corporation, died in 1966, the board of directors offered the job to Frank Barragan, Jr. At the time he was executive vice president with the Savannah Gas Company in Georgia. It was a hard decision to leave his hometown and an established company to join one that was just beginning in the industry; however, he accepted. We the People of North Carolina magazine features Barragan in its Businessman In the News section.
