Memo To Wife: This Is On My Christmas List -- November 11, 2015

From a reader:  Given your interest in North Dakota, its people, its oil industry and your Amazon book reviews, I thought you might like to peruse this book about a young man born in North Dakota who went on to have a most interesting career. The author: A key figure in Aramco's history, Frank Jungers witnessed and eventually oversaw momentous growth during his three decades with the company. Born in North Dakota, he earned a mechanical engineering degree at the University of Washington and joined Aramco in 1947. Jungers became President of Aramco in 1971 and was Chairman of the Board and CEO from 1973 to 1978. He initiated the construction of the Saudi Master Gas System, the consolidation of eastern Saudi Arabia's electric power grid and the Saudization of the company workforce while at all times representing the best interest of his American shareholders. He worked closely with King Faisal during the Arab oil embargo and the oil price hikes of the 1970s. Since retirement in Oregon ..... The book with a copyright date of 2014: The Caravan Goes On: How Aramco and Saudi Arabia Grew Up Together.   Wow! Thank you.
