Worked with a dude.
We’ll Call him “Willy”.
By the time i worked with him he was in his late 50’s.
He was a roustabout. Done made the rounds at other positions. By then he was on the down hill slide. Waiting out his time.
Original “legacy” hand with the company. 3 digit employee #.
Not him, but other hands would tell of back on the days of paper payroll checks he would sit on checks for awhile.
Longer enough the company’s main office would call him, “ Willy, go cash your Payroll checks so we can get our books right”.
Cool old dude. Help you any way he could.
More to him that he told though. I think he had oil / gas wells.
He was from many, la area.
One day we were talking about fishing. Shootn the chit.
Tolendo Bend came up.
Willy says I got a couple lots on the water over there... ain’t been to them in years.
