Recently, we received a letter from John Cassidy, Jr. of Cassidy Limited Partnership, Stroud, Oklahoma. Such letters we hold close to our hearts because they are sincere and reality sets in. Please take a moment as we share this with you... “...Gentlemen, For some time I have been receiving your publ ication, WorldWide Drilling Resource. My career has been mainly drilling in the oilfield. I did have some activities with deep water well drilling. I don’t know just how I got on your list, but I do want you to know, I appreciate it. I enjoy the discussion articles that are very informative and interesting. I am 91 years old; in the past I have been very active in the International Association of Drilling Contractors. I’ve done a lot of international business. Graduated from Oklahoma University in 1947, spent 3 years in Venezuela with Menie Grande Oil Company. Came back to states and proceeded building my contractors drilling operations, as well as international sales and purchases. Regards, John Cassidy, Jr.” So, when someone asks us why we do what we do, why we have such a passion for it, and why we have made this our life’s work, all we have to do is smile and say... “ Mr. John Cassidy Jr., we thank you.” WWDR Team 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” Attitude! No frowners allowed! 6 OCTOBER 2015 WorldWide Drilling Resource ® !
