Diversified Oil and Gas Holdings (DVFI)

[Imperial Whazoo]

I THINK Gary's name is Watkins, but I'm not sure. I'm running kinda fast and don't always make readable notes.

I called the Tyler office after they opened. My family has land in Quitman, the same place as that most recent "defunct" LOI that went by the wayside on Aug. 31. As it so happens, my family business is oil & gas....we have East Texas property.

So, at the behest of a family member who owns the minerals of the Quitman property, I called to just nose around. There's more than one way of finding out if that old Quitman LOI land is near ours, but one such way is to just ask where the land is. Basically I had to in mind tracking down info to supplement my general understanding of the viability of all these "trumpetted/monumentally grest" deals.

Anyway, the guy I talked to obviously had not been jaundiced yet by all the hammering that has since happened on him by all "youze-guyze" and I ended up getting an invite to come out and we talked BBQ restraunts and Mexican restraunts... generally thinking about my visiting them at some time to chat and have lunch.... thet kind of thing.

Anyway, his name was Watkins, I think, and one thing this guy did tell me was that he was the accountant/financial guy in house there and that he and Lancaster went way back (I think he said som 20 odd years) in the oil patch. I didn't try to hide the fact that I'm from an oil & gas environment myself. Actually, I just wanted to pick up enough info so we (some of the folks in my family) could make inquiries and search division orders on property to see if we could piece together a better picture of Lancaster.

Anyway, this Watkins guy was pretty civil until about my third call. Got testy and basically told me that he didn't want to hear about my background in the oil business. I guess he clued in on the fact that I was nosing around, turning over rocks just to see what was under them. I haven't called back. No point.

Anyway, thats who I think this Gary fella is. I could be wrong, of course, but just thought that shoving my recollections on this episode into the blog might be useful... heck, you never know what one of "youze-guyze" might come up with in way of feedback that helps all of us get a better picture in our mind's eyes.

So, thats what happened, from the "for what its worth department"....
