46 MAY 2014 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® the events calendar for silent auctions and product talks during the trade show exhibit times, along with other social and spousal event locations and times. Professional/technical and trade talks are scheduled throughout the day on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Some topics include groundwater reg- ulations; electronic flow measurement; unconventional gas, hydraulic fracturing, and watersheds; well rehabilitation; geo- exchange in British Columbia, and much more. Look for red and you’ll find WWDR there! The events calendar and other information can be found at www.canwell2014.com Ronnie’s Real World This is a difficult column for me to write this month. You see, one of our valued WWDR Team Members left us in mid- March. Ironically, he’s the one who took this photo of me during the 2013Jubileeshow in Virginia Beach. It was prob- ably just as difficult for him to leave WorldWide as it was for us to see him go. He has chosen another avenue in the drilling industry, so you may just see him around wearing different attire. When you do, wish him well as each of us here do. We have enjoyed the two years Ed spent with the WWDR Team - travel- ing the world over and “bleeding red”, as he would say, was his forté. Even though you couldn’t really see that smile under his ever-present mustache, he was always smiling deep inside. Employees come and go, as each and every business owner, supervisor, and manager knows well. WorldWide is a unique place, I believe, as we don’t have employees, we have “family” here. From the “homemade birthday cakes and wishes” - to Al’s famous prime rib at our Christmas Party, it’s truly a pleasure working with each and every one and we all enjoy each other. Working together for the good of the industry is of utmost importance, and if there is some other way one of us feels they may best be able to serve our industry, the rest of the WWDR Team (family) understands and holds no animosity toward the one(s) who chose another avenue toward their per- sonal success. May every one of our past family members know, we wish you the very best. And...in a few words, that’s Ronnie’s REAL WORLD ! see you on the trail ... Jubilee 2013 photo taken by Ed Moranski.
