About John Steven Kellett & His Foundation

This production series was created in memory of John Steven Kellett, a Houston-based retired Exxon executive and philanthropist who passed away in 2018.  Mr. Kellett founded the John Steven Kellett Foundation, which has awarded Thunderclap Productions numerous grants, including a large grant in support of this memorial series that was part of their final grant cycle.
