In 1945, Mr. Galt founded Western Gulf Oil and Gas, and he spent the next 49 years as an independent oilman. "He didn't have any help from anybody. He was a self-made man," Mrs. Hall said. During the '60s, Mr. Galt started Empire Energy, a coal operation in Craig, Colo. He belonged to the Northwood Country Club, where he was an active tennis player. A financial supporter of Southern Methodist University, Mr. Galt's memberships included the Greater Dallas Chamber of Commerce, the Dallas Petroleum Club, the Dallas Club, the Energy Club of Dallas and the Texas Independent Producers and Royalty Owners.

After making her Idlewild debut, Bert and Barbara married in early 1966 and welcomed Michelle into the world later that year. Three years later Clayton Michael was born. Raising her children was her priority and greatest joy. She remained their biggest cheerleader and advocate throughout her life and instilled in them the confidence that they could do anything they set their minds to. Barbara loved to have fun! The family spent winter vacations skiing in Vail and summers in favorite spots like Kailua, Hawaii, but the place closest to her and the family’s heart was Bert’s old family bay house on Galveston Bay. It was here that the whole family’s love of boating grew. She and Bert raced sailboats locally and in major off-shore series and regattas. In 1986 she spear-headed fundraising for the America II campaign to reclaim the America’s Cup from Australia. Barbara’s other passion was fast red cars such as her much coveted ’67 Corvette and first of the line 300 ZX convertible. Although divorced for many years, Barbara and Bert remained close and in 2006 welcomed into the world their grandson, Nicholas, born to Clayton Michael and his wife, Cheryl.
