retainer when I worked for Apache.

I ran the Midland office for the company. I was in charge of hiring, training and sales. I

ensured all trailers and equipment were in working order before loggers arrived and also

logged when I was needed.

George Miller Logging Consultants. I have logged all over West Texas and Eastern New

Mexico. All of these businesses are now out of businessas drilling was slow during this

time period.
