READING ~ Every Line ~ Every Time It’s not often we hear from someone who actually reads the ENTIRE MAGAZINE. But today, Michele brought this letter to me from Doyle Berg in Traverse City, Michigan. (The letter and a very Special Document appear on pages 14 and 15 of this issue.) Taking the time to sit down and handwrite the letter to us recognizing the importance of this magazine to the drilling industry ~ brought back many fond memories of Michigan events we attended. But most of all, shows how much this magazine means to our Professional Drilling Contractors. I am asked from time to time, “So, how much is WorldWide worth?” Can’t put a value on friendship like this. Thank you, Doyle. Proudly Made in the United States of America - delivered WorldWide!
