In Memoriam Robert Lynn Flair, Jr. (1966~2018) Robert Lynn Flair, Jr. of Red Oak, Texas, passed away August 12, 2018. Born in Dallas, he grew up in Oak Cliff and attended Sunset High School. He went on to create a 33-year career drilling in the environmental and geotechnical fields. A year ago, he pursued his dream of starting his own business, DrillTex Services, with great success. Robert was a hardworking, honorable, respectable man who made numerous friends in his field, as well as his personal life. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and camping with family and friends. Robert is survived by his wife and best friend of 27 years Gwendolyn; their children Robbie and Dani; their furry son Mugs, and extended human family. David Fredric Keiser (1949~2018) David Fredric Keiser of Levering, Michigan, passed away May 2, 2018. A lifelong resident of the area, he owned and operated Keiser Well Drilling from 1971 until he retired in 1994. He enjoyed deer hunting and fishing. He is survived by his daughter Lory; son Andrew (Elaine); grandchildren Trevor, Jordan, Kaylee, Grace, David, James, and Gary; and extended family. The management and staff of WWDR extend their sympathies to Robert and David’s family and friends. Lest we forget... Again, as in school, this is mostly driven by our interests. My interests have led me to s ports clubs where I’ve played ball; volun- teered for organizations whose causes I support; even gotten involved in political groups (uh, just briefly). We even bond to our places of employment. Have you ever worked some- where for a while, then quit, and later went back to visit? Isn’t it funny, how the place looks different even though everything is where it always was; and how it feels different even though everyone is happy to see you? This is because belong- ing is an emotion, and since you are no longer an insider, you can’t feel the same way as you did before. Belonging is so important that without it we can fall into loneliness and depres- sion, which can lead to physical illness or suicide. Today, we're able to get involved with social media which simulates a sense of belonging, but it falls short. There’s nothing that can replace the one-on-one bonding and friendships we form when we meet with people we enjoy in person. If you’re not fulfilling your need for belonging, I encourage you to look for a group with whom you can get involved. A great place to start is by volunteering for a cause or charity you believe in. You'll meet like- minded people with whom you'll have an immediate connection, and you'll be doing good. Now that's a win-win! Robert Robert is an author, humorist, and innovation consultant. He works with companies that want to be more competitive and with people who want to think like innovators.
