The wonderful article on "Unlikely heroes in war-torn England" by Drilling Editor Dean E. Gaddy told the neatest story any industry has ever performed (OGJ, Sept. 20, 1999, p. 19).
It helps put a deserved hero face on oil men and women instead of the rogue, high-rolling face of those featured in Herb Block cartoons and the TV show Dallas.
That has been our mission since 1974: educating the public through speeches and interviews-and popularizing such true history as the World War II heroism events.
Everybody talks about a better image for workers in our industry which is vital to security and economy-and we are proud to actually do something about it.
Thanks, Dean and the Oil & Gas Journal.
