October President’s Letter
Members,
Happy Fall Ya’ll! The month of August was the wettest in years. September was the dri-est. What type of weather will October bring? I’m looking forward to a bit of cooler weather and a day of steady rain to settle the dust and to listen to it as it hits our metal roof.
Our September meeting was wonderful! Dave Ogwyn gave us plenty to think about! I am so glad that he shared his remarkable story with us. Thank you to all who donated to the Fall Auction and those who participated in the bidding. I will say we are a competi-tive bunch when it comes to certain items – LSU, homemade cookies and pies and yes, even a grill cleaning set.
Reports back from Convention were very positive and energetic. Everyone raved about the seminars “What Makes My Club Tick” presented by Lori Landry and Sarah Hulin and the Leadership Training presented by Sheryl Minear. The proposed by-law amendments voted on at Convention included: Name change from Association of Desk and Derrick Clubs to ADDC (did not pass); annual dues increase (approved); Logo change to ADDC oval (approved but also to retain the Desk and Derrick Logo) and the elimination of the DDJ (approved).
Our annual Red River Invitational Golf Tournament is Thursday, October 12th at The Stonebridge Golf Club. It is a new venue for us and I hope it’s a beautiful day that we can all enjoy while supporting our club and our participants.
The October meeting will be held on the 24th at the Petroleum Club. Please mark your calendars and plan on attending. There will be plenty of guests as our essay winners, their family and school officials will be attending. This year’s essay contest title is “Propane-Beyond the Gas Grill”. There were over 100 entries, great participation, don’t you think?
See you soon,
Sheryl

David O’Gwyn
Life – The Rest of the Story
September 2017 Program
David O’Gwyn started his own Oil & Gas Company, Quest Energies, in 1980, which is still in opera-
tion today.
David spoke to us about Life - The Rest of the Story. David has always been an avid basketball play-
er and worked out at the gym regularly. June 16, 2013 started out no differently than any other day
on the week. While playing basketball with his good friends, he felt a sharp pain which dropped him
to the floor. CPR was administered and the AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) was used but to
no avail. The paramedics arrived and tried again to revive David. They finally got a pulse and
rushed him to the hospital. One of his neighbors who happened to be at the gym saw all of this and
immediately notified his family. Upon arriving at the hospital his wife and son saw David as he was
being taken into the Operating Room. He was fading in and out, feeling sad, but not afraid. David
had suffered a heart attack. The doctors found three arteries that were 90 percent blocked and two
that were 80 percent blocked.
While recovering, David had time to reflect on what had happened. As he was thinking back about
his feelings the day he was taken to the hospital, David realized that he had been sad about leaving
his family, but was not afraid of dying.
Mr. O’Gwyn developed a new outlook on life which he shared with us:
Life is fragile. We can be here today and gone tomorrow.
What is truly important in life and what isn’t.
Be patient, not impatient.
Don’t get mad at people. Give people plenty of space.
Spend more time enjoying life. Enjoy that delicious meal and glass of wine. Savor the moment.
David is now back playing basketball with his buddies who cheer him on but still do not cut him any
slack on the court!

The Eastern Gulf is Vital to the World’s Energy Security
Opinion by Eric Smith
Page 4
How can it be that the United States is a global energy superpower and still denies access to vast natural gas
and oil resources that lie beneath most of the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf?
There is nothing more important for the future of energy security in the world than the question of whether,
given the share of fossil fuels in the global energy mix of about 81 percent, our country opens up huge off-
shore areas now closed to exploration and production. One of the most crucial areas is the eastern Gulf of
Mexico, which extends 125 miles off the west coast of Florida and includes the Destin Dome, a geological
structure estimated to hold large reserves of natural gas.
The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management estimates that the eastern Gulf contains 11.5 trillion cubic
feet of natural gas and 3.6 billion barrels of oil. For Louisiana, a decision to lift a decades-old ban on drill-
ing in this energy-rich area would create more than 31,000 jobs and generate spending in Louisiana of near-
ly $19 billion through 2035, according to a study by Quest Offshore Resources. Since only about half of the
personnel who work in the Gulf actually reside in Louisiana, there should be equivalent gains in neighbor-
ing states as well.
Yet, despite President Donald Trump's action in April to open up new areas of the Atlantic and Arctic to
gas and oil development, 98 percent of the eastern Gulf remains off-limits under a moratorium most recent-
ly renewed during the Obama Administration. That moratorium is due to expire in 2022, the same year the
federal government is scheduled to finalize a new five-year drilling plan. Unfortunately, Florida Sen.
Marco Rubio is pushing for passage of a measure to extend the moratorium through 2027.
Congress is at a crossroads. Which direction it takes on offshore oil and gas development could be decided
soon.
So what's going on?
Environmental groups claim that any drilling in the eastern Gulf (West of Florida) will threaten the tourism -
based economies of coastal communities and harm the environment. They claim there also is the risk of
another Deepwater Horizon oil spill like the one that occurred in 2010. And carbon dioxide emissions from
burning oil and natural gas, they argue, are responsible in large part for climate changes like rising sea lev-
els and extreme weather. Their support for this position is less than robust.
They also downplay or ignore the fact that our economy depends on having oil and natural gas. We simply
can't compete in world markets unless we both have a competitive supply of these materials and continue to
make better use of our own energy resources.

2017 Convention Highlights
The 66th Annual ADDC Convention
by Malissa Carroll
The 66th Annual ADDC Convention was held in San Antonio on September 18-23, 2017. We stayed at
the beautiful Holiday Inn Riverwalk. It was within walking distance to wonderful restaurants and great shop-
ping places. The boat tour of the river was one of the trips added adventures. We arrived in San Antonio on
Tuesday night and checked in to the hotel; the staff were excellent and very helpful, and the rooms were very
spacious and clean. We began our adventure with dinner at a great little auto/motorcycle themed bar and grill
called the Taco Garage and the food was fabulous, just like Mexican food should be.
We started Wednesday morning with an early breakfast and then we boarded a bus headed north to the Hill Country for Wine Tasting; this was a great experience if you are a wine lover. We were able to sample 12 different wines of your choice. After our wine tasting we headed to Fredericksburg, Texas. Fredericksburg was founded in 1846 by German Colonists and named after Prince Frederick of Perussio. Fredericksburg is a small quaint town with a rich German heritage that can be seen everywhere. The town is also known for its wineries, shopping and many great restaurants. We had lunch at the Buffalo Nickel Bar and Grill and the food was delicious. After that, we enjoyed the shopping on Main Street.
Upon arrival to the hotel we attended a Seminar entitled “What Makes our Club Tick.” It was presented by our own Region III Lafayette Club members, Lori Landry and Sarah Hulin, and they made Region III proud. The seminar gave us some insight about getting our club back on track after the long hiatus of the in-dustry. After the seminar we took a walk on the Riverwalk and found an Irish Pub and Restaurant called Waxy O’Connor’s, where we had dinner and enjoyed each other’s inspiration received from the day.
Thursday morning we were adventurous and found the SAS Shoe Factory, also known as San Antonio Shoemakers. The factory was more like a museum than a factory, with about 30 Antique Cars on display. Meeting the staff at this shoe store was like nothing I have ever seen before. The sales lady went above and beyond the call of duty. One of the best customer services I have ever received. How could anyone pass up the 10 cent coke and 5 cent popcorn? We had to get back in time to attend another workshop. The “Leadership Training" seminar was sponsored by the ADDC Leadership Resource Committee, with Sheryl Minear, who did an excellent job guiding us towards taking a leadership role in our Club and Association. Af-ter the seminar, we had a team building session, “Painting with a Twist." All I can say about that is I am not an artist, but everyone had a great time.
Friday morning was time to work--the main reason of the convention. At the opening Business Ses-sion, the Mayor of San Antonio had an Energy Symposium on “The Different Aspects of the Energy Industry.” Ryan Sitton, Texas Railroad Commissioner, spoke as well as Bill Stevens, President of Wind River Associates, LLC, and the final speaker was Omar Garcia, President of South Texas Energy & Economic Roundtable known as STEER.
Page 15
At the Business Session, we had 46 Clubs Register for Convention, represented by 231 members that
included 41 first timers. Jonathan Slay gave an excellent report on the Realignment of the Clubs. The Key-
note Speaker of the Luncheon was Guy Bob Bushman with GBC Minerals, Ltd. His topic was “The Oil Cut”.
Friday night was Movie and Game Night; hotdogs and hamburgers were on the menu. Everyone had an enjoy-
able time, but my favorite thing of the night was Bingo, reminding me of my childhood.
Saturday morning we had another Business Session. All of the Region Directors gave their Region Re-
ports. The 2018 Convention will be held in Evansville, Indiana. The 2019 Convention will be held in Kansas
City, Missouri and the 2020 will be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Membership Recognition luncheon Key-
note Speaker was Stuart Mussler, the Director of Stakeholder Relations with ConocoPhillips. We ended our
afternoon with the final Business Session. That night everyone dressed up in their finery for the Banquet.
Dinner was fabulous, and the speaker, Scott Miller, Senior Management Aviation Safety and Travel Services
with Valero Energy Corp., kept our attention as he told stories about his life. After he spoke, several recogni-
tions were given. At the end of the banquet, Maggi Franks, ADDC President, handed over the Gavel to the
2018 ADDC President Elect, Christina Forth. Then we had the Presentation of the 2018 Board of Directors.
We closed the Banquet with Keith Atkins giving the Benediction. That concluded the 66th Annual ADDC
Convention.

PASSION IS THE NEW ATTITUDE
By Margie Steed
It was a pleasure attending The 66th Annual Association of Desk and Derrick Convention in San Antonio this
year. I went without expectations but to simply be there to support and accompany others. Although I believe
fence sitting is a waste of time and good manpower, sometimes you just sit on the fence until one side has a
better argument than the other. While I also believe that public protesting produces no positive results, the op-
posite of listening to one voice at a time at least gives one a chance to be heard.
Whether you agree with this philosophy or not, all was evident during the business sessions on Friday and Sat-
urday at Convention. Many passionate voices were heard during this time. There were only a few topics up for
discussion but topics which could have easily created public protest. Why? Because of the over two hundred
individuals attending, each had a passion for what they believed. Each had a good reason to support their pas-
sion. And, as professionals, we stood one by one and our voice was heard.
The suggestion of a name change solicited more than a few “heart felt” responses. Who we were versus who
we are today! The result being, we will remain the same today as we were yesterday. Our name defines us in
particularly to the history of what we have accomplished. Our definition on energy education has evolved as
many things around us but our passion for learning has not. We have broadened our scope and welcomed new
avenues of awareness and education while keeping true to our history. Our name remains The Association of
Desk and Derrick Clubs!
In 1920 the price of a dozen eggs was .47 cents while a half gallon of milk was .33 cents. Most items have a
continual increase in price, that price seldom reversing. Eggs and milk, for the most part, are the same product
today as they were in 1920 but yet increased at least 400% in price. Sad but true, the sayings “it takes money
to make money” and “money makes the world go round” affect us all each and every day. While the Associa-
tion is making some extreme decisions of change, the increase in dues was met with a little opposition. The
initial suggestion of a twenty dollar increase was replaced by and passed with a ten dollar increase in Associa-
tion dues. Although this increase is considered to be less than needed for the deficit the Association is carrying
from year to year, other changes will be combined in the effort and no doubt further adjustments will be con-
sidered. But for now, the ten dollars is a small sacrifice to invest in your future organization.
The history, the connections, and the passion came forth with the topic of Region Realignment. The committee
for Region Realignment was chaired by Jonathan Slay, who did an awesome job not only in his presentation
but in the compiling of information. The committee report showed that considerations for realignment covered
not only economic considerations but also the weakening energy sector nationwide. While some clubs are
flourishing others struggle to keep numbers for various reasons none have control over. With region realign-
ment, region meetings have potential of being larger in number which lends to a broader scope of educators
and sponsorships and in turn creating a level of energy among us that lends towards excitement and yes, pas-
sion.
With only four regions being presented-West, Central, Southeast and the Northeast, many stepped to the mi-
crophone. It was obvious that change is never easy and seldom received with celebration. However, the
Page 17
Page 18
passion that was expelled during open forum reaffirms the purpose of The Association. The Association has
and will continue to provide its members a forum to learn, to educate, to communicate and build professional
and personal relationships.
Sometimes passion can create hardship among those with opposing beliefs. This was not the case during our
business sessions. I personally was amazed at the connection that stayed amid the challenging responses. Dur-
ing our Convention, we learned “What Makes Our Club Tick”, “Cyber Security”, “The Evolution of the Shale
Revolution”, “Geology from Kitchen to Gas Tank”, leadership techniques and more importantly, we are a club
of passionate individuals that will adjust and embrace change in order to continue.
Thank you San Antonio and Region IV for hosting and providing organization renewal!

First Timer at ADDC Convention
By Kathryn Carroll
I was fortunate enough to attend the 66TH Annual ADDC Convention as my first ADDC Convention. It
was hosted by Desk and Derrick Club of San Antonio for the Region IV Desk and Derrick Clubs in San Anto-
nio September 18-23, 2017. There was 231 attending in which 41 were first timers. It was very educational
and fun getting to learn about what is going on in our industry and seeing different people from all over the
United States and Canada to come together at one time. We did lots of things in those four days, a few would
be seminars, listening to great key-note speakers at lunching’s, field trips to wineries and shopping, Painting
with a Twist, and Game Night.
The seminars we chose to go to was “What Makes My Club Tick” and “Leadership Training”. “What
Makes My Club Tick” was given by Lori Landry and Sarah Hulin. It was very inspirational to hear how they
keep their club thriving even with the loss of jobs in the industry and how to keep the positive energy in the
club and lower the negative. They also had Midlind President, Joyce Nolly, spoke about her club and how they
have been able to raise so much money and how they gained 31 newcomers this year. She gave examples like
a token competition, where every time a member gets a newcomer, volunteers, participates, or do anything
positive for the Club, they get a token and at the end of the year who ever had the most tokens gets a reward.
Joyce also talked about is everyone in their club was given a puzzle piece pin to wear and it is a symbol that
everyone is a piece of the puzzle and if you don’t do what you are supposed to do, your piece of the puzzle is
metaphorically missing and the club puzzle cannot be completed to move the club in the right direction.
“Leadership Training” was given by Sheryl Minear. She had some great acronyms for JOURNEY to get the
most out of your experience with your club. It was J-Just Do IT, O-Organize, U-Us not Me, R-Rules, N-
Network, E-Encouragement, Y-You. She also went into detail about how to fix the seven self-imposed obsta-
cles to success to make you not just a better leader but an all-around person.
It wasn’t all hard work and no play. We took a field trip to two wineries called Six Shooter Cellars and
Fiesta Winery. The wines were amazing and we got to take home both wine glasses from each winery. We got
to have 6 tastings at each winery but we were originally only supposed to have 3 at each winery. It was a cute
little location outside of Fredericksburg and they were right next to each other so you could just walk across
the parking lot. We then got back on the bus and headed to Main Street in Fredericksburg to eat lunch and
shop. They have many boutiques and local stores you can walk into. We also participated in Painting with a
Twist where we painted bluebonnets and windmills. There was also Game Night were you played Bingo and
every time you won, your name got put in for gift card drawings.
This doesn’t even skim the top on everything I experienced in those four wonderful days. These are
just some of my experiences that just stuck with me the most. I met some great people and made many friends.
I hope I will be able to go to the 67th Convention in Evansville, 68th Convention in Kansas City, and the 69th
Convention in Pittsburgh over the next few years. So that is just a taste of my adventures at the 66th Annual
ADDC Convention in San Antonio.
