Ralph's Story

Hello All: Just to fill in what has been happening to me a bit. After High School, I worked all around Oklahoma and down in to Southern and eastern Texas with the drilling industry till 93. That¿s when I started working international in the drilling industry. At present I have worked in Papua New Guinea, then to Saudi Arabia, then back to Papua New Guinea Then Back to Saudi Arabia. I then Moved to Colombia, then Nigeria, then Kazakhstan in the Caspian Sea, Then Turkmenistan. I then return to Saudi Arabia as a Drilling Consultant, & was hired by Saudi Aramco as a Company Representative for them and presently overseen a jack up rig in The Arabia Gulf. I left Oklahoma and moved to Colombia in 2000, then in July 2000 my wife Carolina & I moved to Edinburgh Scotland, I worked in Nigeria while she did her Masters in Petroleum Engineering. A little over a year later we moved to Aberdeen Scotland as Carolina started working for Shell in the North Sea, and I went to work in the Caspian Sea. I worked there for 2 1/2 years and moved to Turkmenistan as a superintendent there to over see the operations for 2 ½ ...Expand for more
years. I had one office 25 miles from the Afghanistan border & one office 20 miles from Iran border. We then moved to London for 6 months & then to The Hague in Holland where Carolina moved into the Shell Corporate offices there. I moved to Saudi Arabia to start the assignment I am on now. Carolina and I both love to travel. Myself I have visited 32 countries¿ not including Hawaii The Canary Island Tenerife, Rhodes (Greece)& the Colombian Island San Andres of the coast of Guatemala and will be going to Aruba on vacation later this year. I am still in pretty good shape and am an Assistant Diving Instructor. Which is what I love to do this is why we are almost always going to an island or someplace like that to dive. We live a very good life with lots of fun and friends, from all over the world. I can speak Broken Spanish But Carolina speaks multiple languages. Looking forward to seeing everyone again. I would like to set up a reunion possible next year around April and get as many of us together in maybe Oklahoma City to see how everyone is doing and to talk and reminisce about us. Take care and write
