GEORGE MITCHELL ~ THE WOODLANDS, TX ~ I MET A LEGEND TODAY!

George Mitchell 

Being in The Woodlands since 1987, the developer and forward-thinking genius of George Mitchell is a man that I have always wanted to meet.  This brilliant gentlerman was a true visionary.  When others told him that he was nuts for buying up land north of Houston, he just continued on with his plan and the result today is astounding! 

Mr. Mitchell created what is now the most successful Master-planned community in the world!  Those of us fortunate enough to live and work here know just how important this impressive man is.  Because of his creative vision, we live in an awesome community with that offers exceptional real estate as well as job opportunities.

Mr. Mitchell was born in Galveston, Texas and he continues to make a positive impact on the island as well.  He owns many of the historical buildings including the Tremont  Hotel.  He has revitalized the city and helped to rebuild it after Hurricane Ike.

This weekend we were visiting Galveston when taking our friends from Chicago there.  As we were sitting in the Tremont lobby area, Mr. Mitchell comes in.  I headed over to him to introduce myself and to thank him personally for his vision with The Woodlands.

As expected, he was most gracious and we had a great visit.  He did allow me to have our picture taken.  I will treasure this photo!

Thank you Mr. Mitchell for what you have done for us in the Houston area.  You have paved the way for us to live and work in an amazing community.  I have raised my children here and now have my own business here.  George Mitchell, you are a hometown hero in The Woodlands.

If you would like to know more about our amazing community of The Woodlands, feel free to contact me.  Chevaux Group is a Woodlands-based company and we KNOW this area.  We are excited to introduce you to The Woodlands, Texas.

You know I don't believe there are any coincidences, you were meant to meet and him and just at the right time.  Glad you have a picture to remember it by.

That's so neat Paula!  I always love hearing about stories of how cities and communities came to be.  I always feel old when I describe even after seven years how quickly things have changed in Highland Village.  I can only imagine what his stories are like!

Thanks Cal, Liz and Tricia.  And Liz, you are so right.  I too believe that I was supposed to meet this outstanding individual and I am still on cloud 9.  He really is a legend here and has done so much to give back to our community.  We are lucky that he had the vision that he did.
