Accomplishments
I went 42 yrs of working on gas and oil wells and never needed my liability ins I felt blessed time to stop. I sold my wells to my son and he is doing very well . While I was in business I took any extra classes that was offered to learn and meet people and get new ideas and learn about new rules coming up
I went 42 years and never needed my liability ins.
I worked hard and I looked at each job with care and if it was bad I told the people about their problem and went from there Fixing a magor problem later does not work As far as the gas well hook ups I always tried to make sure it was done to fuel gas codes that were established in the 1950 range of time I don't care about your luck sir or miss Is the attitude that I had .After I graduated from High school I went to work in a machine shop and become a tool and die maker Completed the apprentiship program but drilling really was tugging at me and I had to try
