R.A. "Dick" Filgate - General Manager Operations (http://www.tengizchevroil.com)

I did not get Mark's business card (http://www.tengizchevroil.com) so I don't know his title and our point man in our rescue was Max Ragan - Manager Services.  The only picture I have of Max on the bike he asked me not to share.  We were all out having a beer or two (or three) and he gave an American Eagle Salute (aka - THE Bird).  I think the picture is funny as hell... we were laughing our tails off, but he asked me not to post.

Max - thanks for all your help.
