Mark's Story
LaSalle '63, went in to the service, started driving for a small construction Company, J. Albanese Trucking.
In '68 was planning to get married, needed a more permanent job. In February of '68 started driving tankers for Atlantic Oil Co. Deliver Gasoline, Diesel, Lube Oils, an Heating oils. In '70 Atlantic became
ARCO. In February of '72 switched over to Mobil Oil Corp. Drove Tankers for 10 years, in '82 moved
into the maintenance Garage working on the tractors an trailers. In the Fall of '82, got divorced, not my choice. Re-married in Feb. '86. In October of '89 the company asked
me if I would like to move up into management and movie up to Bangor, Maine and run a small
terminal. I left Rhode Island in November living in Hampden ME. Was in Maine until April of '94. Was sent to Syracuse N.Y., larger terminal, with drivers an trucks. Also was in charge of two other terminals,
one in Utica and the other in Binghamton. These terminals also had trucks and drivers. So far all these terminals were pipeline supplied.
In the fall of '96 Mobil, soon to merge with Exxon, offered me a retirement package. I had t...Expand for more
he time an the age.
In November of '96 I went to work for Gulf Oil LP as a terminal manager in Linden NJ.
I lived in Freehold NJ, home of the Boss. This time we only had the terminal to worry about, drivers
an trucks were run by Cumberland Farms.
In November of 2000 I moved back north to become the Manger of Gulf's Chelsea terminal.
This was a switch because now we were supplied by boats. This brought on a new team of people.
Coast Guard, ICE, DEP, State an local water and costal management, state an local police, an fire.
So now you can imagine what happen after 9/11, I knew them all on a first name bases.
In '05 I had enough an retired. I do not miss it, When the phone rings now I know it's either the
kids or family. No call outs for spills or fire control.
Have 3 kids, 2 are mine, 1 my wife's, but I call her mine. 40, 38, & 30 yrs old. Two grandkids my the youngest. My oldest lives in Boston, not married and my youngest just got married an lives in South Kingston RI. The youngest lives in Cape Coral FL.
My wife, (of 23 yrs.) an I live in Salisbury MA. Who knows someday we might move. Where, who knows.
