Bill & Reba Harvey


W.Y. “Bill” and Reba Harvey, with Bill’s four children and 11 grandchildren. Bill’s children are daughter, Tave Leifeste, Bourke, William, Jr. and Holman, with their spouses. Not pictured are Reba’s three children, Dr. Tom Moore, Carol Anderson and Dr. Michael Moore, whose two boys, Taylor and Collin are in college.
Bill, originally from Georgia, has been in land development here since the 60’s, after enjoying three years in the Air Force.
Brad Corbett and Bill quickly put together a group to buy the Texas Rangers Baseball team back in 1974, which kept the club from being moved to New Orleans.
Harvey was instrumental in locating the U.S. Currency Plant in north Fort Worth, which now employees some 650 people.
