Celebrating my birthday in Shedgum

For my birthday I happened to be on the job site and did organize simple celebration. Locally, distilled spirits were available for a price. The guys from the mess hall secured the sandwiches. The pictures were done in my room. Because it was not big enough, the guys were coming and going.

These pictures really bring back memories. This looks like a 24 man dorm, one like I was in. In fact having looked at many of your pictures and your time in Saudi I believe we had many very similar experiences. I was at Shedgum from 1977 to Oct. 1979 when we blew steam from the SAPL built Utility plant. Then between 1983 and 1985 I was at Al-Jubail for REF1 Petromin Shell Refinery construction. Finally, I was in Al-Khobar for the Abqaiq Refinery DCS upgrade project between 1992 and 1996. In all that time I saw many wonderful places and had some great R&R's all over the world. A place I kept coming back to time and again, my favorite, was Rhodes. Your pictures bring back fond memories. Thank you for sharing them. It would be nice to hear from you.
