Frederick (Fritz) A. Heitmann was a Houston business and civic leader in the late 1800's and early 1900's. He succeeded his father in the family hardware business, was hugely successful, and was known for helping establish the Houston Ship Channel among other large projects. His great success obscured his earlier contribution to the frontier as a dentist in the gold fields of Colorado. His father insisted he learn a skill independent of fluctuations in the business world. He apprenticed himself to a dentist and used those abilities, along with others, to gain a large stake to build the business. Also, he had strong opinions, and liked to talk. He told his story to his grandson, and his grandson's buddy, the co-author of this article.
弗雷德里克（弗里茨）·A·海特曼是19世纪末20世纪初休斯敦的商业和公民领袖。他继承了家族的五金生意，取得了巨大成功，并以帮助建立休斯敦航道等大型项目而闻名。他的巨大成功掩盖了他早年在科罗拉多州金矿做牙医时对边疆地区所做的贡献。他的父亲坚持让他学习一项不受商业世界波动影响的技能。他师从一位牙医，并运用这些技能以及其他能力获得了大量股份来发展生意。此外，他有坚定的观点，喜欢交谈。他把自己的故事讲给了他的孙子，以及他孙子的好友，也就是本文的合著者。
