翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Frank Spooner ： ウィキペディア英語版 Frank Spooner William Franklin Spooner, known as Frank Spooner (born September 9, 1937), is an oil and natural gas producer in Monroe in Ouachita Parish in northeastern Louisiana, who has been active since the early 1970s in his state's Republican Party. In the fall of 1976, Spooner waged a strong but losing race for the United States House of Representatives from Louisiana's 5th congressional district in a bid to succeed incumbent Otto Passman, who had been unseated in the Democratic primary by farmer/businessman Jerry Huckaby, then from Ringgold in Bienville Parish. Therefore, instead of facing Passman, as he had expected, Spooner competed with Huckaby for a relatively rare open seat in the state's congressional delegation. ==Background== Spooner's father, Harry Spooner, Sr. (1895-1965), originally from Buffalo, New York, was injured in France during World War I. A Republican, the senior Spooner came to Texas with the petroleum industry and settled in Arkansas, first El Dorado, then Smackover, and finally Stephens in Ouachita County, where he married the former Willie Green (1905-2000). Frank Spooner was born in Stephens〔"Louisiana: Frank Spooner", ''Who's Who in American Politics, 2007-2008'' (Marquis Who's Who: New Providence, New Jersey, 2007), p. 672〕 and graduated in 1955 from Stephens High School. For two years thereafter he attended Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia and then transferred to the University of Oklahoma at Norman, from which in 1960 he received a Bachelor of Science degree in petroleum land management. After college, Spooner served in the United States Army and the Army Reserves, pre-Vietnam War. He worked for Humble Oil Company and at times was a business partner with his brother, Harry Spooner, Jr.〔Billy Hathorn, "Otto Passman, Jerry Huckaby, and Frank Spooner: The Louisiana Fifth Congressional District Election of 1976", ''Louisiana History: The Journal of the Louisiana Historical Association'', LIV No. 3 (Summer 2013), p. 346〕 After several years in Shreveport, Spooner in 1967 launched his oil and gas-leasing company, Mark V Petroleum, at 510 North 17th Street in Monroe. An innovator in his field, Spooner in 1989 spearheaded the effort to tap the first coal seam natural gas (CSNG) from a well in Caldwell Parish south of Monroe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Louise S. Durham, Coal Gas Tapped in Louisiana: From the 'Seam', Not the 'Bed', May 2006 )〕 In 1971, Spooner was the chairman of the Ouachita Parish Young Republicans and directed the Monroe-area campaign of the party's gubernatorial nominee, David C. Treen, an attorney then from Metairie in Jefferson Parish. Treen was defeated in this first bid for governor by Democrat Edwin Edwards. Later in 1972, Treen was elected to the U.S. House, and four years thereafter, Spooner sought to join Treen in Congress when he opposed Jerry Huckaby for the seat Otto Passman was compelled to vacate.〔Louisiana History, p. 346〕 Treen left Congress in 1980, when he was inaugurated as the first Republican governor of Louisiana since Reconstruction. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frank Spooner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
