We Recycle PONDERING 2021 ~~~ As we embark on whatever 2021 holds in store for us, and leave 2020 in our rearview mirrors, WorldWide Drilling Resource, Inc. wants to take a moment to reflect on all the great friends we have made throughout this industry worldwide. We may not get to see them as often as we like, but please rest assured each and every one of you are thought about constantly and wished the very best life has to give. You have made our journey a happy and memorable one. I donate personally to many charities, and the St. Joseph’s Indian School in South Dakota is very special to me. Why? Because so many give to charities far and wide. Many of those charities are not here in America - they are in other countries. So, those both elderly and youthful are forgotten despite the fact they are right here with us in the United States of America. This “Dreamcatcher” photo with the horses appearing to come right out of the “Dreamcatcher”, brought me to wonder if anyone knows the Legend of the “Dreamcatcher”? Well, you are right. I’m going to tell you about it right here on page 6 of this WorldWide drilling magazine. “Native Americans of the Great Plains believe the air is filled with both good and bad dreams. According to legend, the good dreams pass through the center hole to the sleeping person. The bad dreams are trapped in the web, where they perish in the light of dawn. Historically, dreamcatchers were hung in the tipi or lodge and on a baby’s cradleboard.” Courtesy of St. Joseph’s Indian School. Now that you can have all the good dreams come your way - may you have the most prosperous New Year ever. With that in mind, WWDRis loaded for bear We are a determined bunch here, and we are certainly determined to keep our Solid Gold Service ~ with a Smile!™our number one priority. So, rest assured, if anything gets in the way of that promise - (well, you can fill in that blank). See you on the trail. First up - Mountain States and Virginia Water Well!
