We Recycle Ronnie, for the WWDR Team Out with the old! ~ In with the new AMAZING, that is my word for this month. My heartfelt pride goes out to each member of the WWDR Team for the accomplishments they have made with the new look and comfy feel of WorldWide Drilling Resource ® . In my opinion, what they have created here within three (3) short weeks, is nothing but a miracle! We hope you enjoy it. As this little “positive pup” reveals in Theodore Roosevelt’s quote, “Believe you can and you’re halfway there,” the WWDR Team believed they could, and they certainly have. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have good news and bad news for you...Good News, you won’t have to look for Ronnie’s Real World this month. Why? That’s the bad news. It got bumped! Yes, just goes to prove to you, someone else had something more important to say. That would be dear friend Augie Guardino. His life and philosophy is so consuming, we couldn’t bring ourselves to cut any of it out. We believe you will find it well worth reading and thinking about it hard. It makes one reflect on their own life and that of their family and friends. So, forgive me for not having room for Ronnie’s Real World . Have no fear, it will be back in September! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No events for the WWDR Team to cover in August, but September is jam-packed with events. The Water Expo Fall Edition; Roseland Gas and Oil West; EXPOSIBRAM; NDA; EXTEMIN; and ICUEE! Whew! Better buy them more shoes or roller skates! Ronnie, Managing Publisher ronnie@worldwidedrillingresource.com With pen (computer) in hand... See you on the trail! We’ll be the ones with the smiles! And a “Positive Pup” Attitude!
