WorldWide Drilling Resource

R nnie s Re l W ld o ’ a or What’s up at r Wid Wo ld e now, you ask? I just have to ask one question before I answer yours - “Are you receiving notifications about our Facebook page?” It’s NOT your normal Facebook page. Of course that is probably because we don’t do anything the normal way! This page is our travel page. If you haven’t seen it, you are surely missing a great deal in our industry. Go to it and click “Like”, and you will see what’s going on every time this great WWDR Team hits the trail or has something exciting to share. So back to your question. What’s up at WorldWide ? This is progress to better serve our drilling industry. Phase One has three new offices and an additional printer station. This is just the beginning and we wanted to let you be part of our progress and in turn your progress. Thank you for allowing the WWDR Team to assist you with your drilling needs. And that truly is... Ronnie’s Real World! God Bless You - we will see you on the trail... Soon this door will be open for your welcome home. It’s got my head spinning! Michele, Please pass on my greetings to Art [Beatty] as his article [ More Memories and Experiences , page 12, March 2016 WWDR ] brought back many mem- ories; and I was fortunate to visit with Art from time to time during my ten years in Chile. Art, Enjoyed your article about the “old” times, as I also had the privilege of see- ing these procedures done by hand by a fine old gentleman, my father. I recall at home on Sundays he would set about to “cut out” the dulled diamonds from a hand-set bit, and proceed to reset these diamonds to be used the next week. EX and AX bits had four black Congo stones in each. I distinctly remember him telling me the black Congos cost $130 per carat in those days.
