There were some individuals who were not recognized for their donation of cash, labor and equipment at the Oilworker Monument dedication.
Charlie Beard worked harder and put in more hours than any person involved with the monument. GPS is a Black Gold sponsor. Charlie also donated GPS employees and equipment to prepare the site (he was actually running the grader). Charlie worked right alongside his GPS employees as they built the walls for the sponsor plaques, installed the rig and all equipment and the bronze oil worker statues. GPS employees laid all the bricks. Charlie was always a step ahead when something needed to be done. All the things Charlie did are too numerous to list. The Oilworker Monument committee members all realize that the monument would not be as grand without Charlie Beard. We appreciate you Charlie and all your hard work. We know it was a labor of love.
Joe Burke was a partner in Accelerated Services when their Lakeview Gusher sponsorship was received. Joe and Monee have been strong supporters of the monument from the beginning. Thanks to you both.
In addition to a large cash donation, Dave Noerr, president of Huddleston Crane donated the large crane and employees to unload each piece and worked alongside W.E. Sauer employees to complete the cable tool rig. They also lifted the bronze oilworkers from the truck high over the rig and placed them in their permanent place on the rig floor. Dave worked right along with all the others.
I know this isn’t the same as being recognized at the dedication, but want the people of this community to know you were all major players from start to finish.
