Yes sir. Dad drug me around all over Western Pennsylvania growing up. He was a roughneck, a driller, a tool pusher. He didn't want to work anywhere else but the oilfield. He lost several friends in rig accidents.

His best friend John was up top they were pulling out all the pipe to change the drill bit. The base part of the rig support was rusted and broke in two. The rig fell over with him and all the pipe standing up in it.
