Rollin W. King hired now famous attorney Herbert Kelleher to manage legal affairs for him as was needed. At the time, there was a telephone conversation in which Rollin proposed the idea for what would eventually become Southwest Airlines. A direct quote in the Dallas Morning News disputes the entire "business plan on a cocktail napkin" notion, but he agreed with the reporter of the story that it did make for a great story.
