Chances are good there won't be any more Adams buildings in Houston, or any boulevards named for K.S. Adams II. It's hard to know whether Adams feels any regret about all this, whether he believes that somehow things might have been different between him and Houston. But in his speech a few years ago at Culver Academy, the self-described loner did offer, perhaps inadvertently, an insight into his motivation.
"I've been one that always thought things were greener on the other side of the mountain," said Adams.
And so at age 73, Boots Adams' first namesake is headed for the other side of the mountain, still searching for the green.
