On the evening of August 1, 2008 the XTO/Swift third-floor meeting room was overflowing with an appreciative crowd as former Speaker of the House Jim Wright was at the top of his form.  His speech was filled with memories and stories of Fort Worth and the North Side, his days in Washington and his remembrances of all the presidents he has known. At the end of the program Wright received a certificate as a Marshall of North Fort Worth. Joy Webster, representing XTO Energy, hosted the special meeting in the beautifully renovated Swift building.
