Buddy Fogelson

Elijah E. "Buddy" Fogelson (February 16, 1900 – December 1, 1987) was an American lawyer, Army colonel, businessman, horse and cattle breeder, and philanthropist.

On 17 April 1947 he co-founded the Pan American Sulphur Company to develop and operate a major sulfur mine in Jaltipan, Veracruz, Mexico.

Buddy Fogelson supported Garson's theatrical interest and formed Santa Fe Productions, Inc. that backed several Broadway plays.

[3] The couple maintained homes in Dallas and Los Angeles and spent a great deal of time at their Spanish-style hacienda on the Forked Lightning Ranch.

This portion of the property is now part of Pecos National Historical Park, while another 5.5 thousand acres (22 km2) were purchased by actor Val Kilmer.

As benefactors to the College of Santa Fe, they made large cash donations, built the E. E. Fogelson Library, and provided funding for scholarships for underprivileged students.
