When I was 10 or 12 my dad made me get dressed up and attend an oilfield society luncheon with him in Houston. I was glad to miss school but really didn't want to get dressed up and go to lunch with a bunch of "old guys."

We heard Roy Benavidez speak and I will always be glad to have met a real hero.

Welcome to both of you.

You’ve been touched by a great and good man.
