Terry Wayne Gee, Sr. (September 21, 1940 – May 19, 2014),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Terry Wayne Gee, Sr. Obituary )〕 was a businessman in the oil and natural gas industry who served three four-year terms as a Republican member of the Louisiana House of Representatives. He represented parts of Jefferson and Orleans parishes from 1980 until he was defeated for a fourth term, effective 1992. While a legislator known for his emphasis on fiscal and labor matters, Gee resided in the Algiers section of New Orleans, Louisiana. ==Background== Gee was born in Natchez, Mississippi, one of three children of Garland and Cletus Grimes Gee. He graduated in 1958 from Natchez High School. As a young man, Gee worked for a time as a roughneck in the Mississippi oil fields. He obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in personnel management and public relations from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston in Lincoln Parish in North Louisiana. There he was a member of both the Bulldogs varsity baseball and tennis teams.〔 He subsequently received a master's degree in business from Loyola University in New Orleans. He was a Loyola faculty member for seven years, having taught various classes in management and behavioral sciences.〔 In his early adult life, he was a player of contract bridge and traveled widely to various competitions.〔 When he filed his candidacy papers for state representative in 1979, he was the executive director of Associated Builders and Contractors in New Orleans.〔 Gee's experience in the oil and gas industry stems from his having been a managing partner of Resource Consultants, Limited, for nine years. After eleven years as the assistant to the CEO and chairman of the board of Louisiana Power & Light (a subsidiary of Entergy),〔 Gee from 1996 to 2004 served as the executive director of the Louisiana Offshore Port Authority ("LOOP").〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=All about LOOP )〕 He was appointed to the LOOP position by Republican Governor Mike Foster and left the position when a Democratic governor, Kathleen Blanco, took office. Under his leadership, LOOP was developed as America's first and only deep water port which operated under both United States and Louisiana licenses. Gee described LOOP "is a good corporate citizen that employs over one hundred people ... and has a tremendous safety and performance record."〔 After September 11, 2001, one of his tasks was to oversee the reevaluation of the security of LOOP to guard against terrorist attack.〔〔In 2008, Republican Governor Bobby Jindal named a Democrat former legislator and member of the Louisiana Public Service Commission, Dale Sittig of Eunice, as the LOOP director.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Terry W.
