Talking to Gerald while I was on the board at the Alky. And him wanting to work on one of our cooling tower pumps during the summer. I was doing my best Wood boys sales pitches trying to talking him out of it. Once he had his orders he was locked in. Going to miss knowing I won´t have to ever argue with him again over the phone about this refine . He was a good one to work with. Always good to see him as a Nightforeman. Some of those guys you would see and know it was going to be a good night!
