Biography coming soon.
I was fortunate to be friends with General Lessing during his visits to Houston, Texas, for meetings with firms working on petroleum projects in the 1960’s. If there is any additional information or other photos of the general, I would much appreciate.
My name is John Robbins and I live in Houston, Texas.
