Circa 1966. I was lower middle class. My grandparents whom raised me did not have the financial assets to send me to college, they were saints. I went to Mr. Rebstock of the 2R drilling company and asked for a job for the summer. He gave me a job and it was hot and dangerous work as a roughneck on a drilling rig. I went to school and did the same the next summer.
Thank you Mr. Rebstock. I became everything in my tagline below due to you giving me a job.
People in the energy field did and are doing too good a job. The energy sector literally makes the world go round. Yet, it is taken for granted. People have no idea what would happen without fossil and nuclear fuels.
Thanks for your service.
