In the 70's oilboom, the workers were called "oilfield trash" by
onlookers.

An International Society was formed, and had belt buckles, hats, shirts,
and
all sorts of things.

I have two belt buckles.

I worked in the Gulf of Mexico from 1974 to 1980, then again in 1993, and
a
couple of hitches in Nigeria.

Are there any other alumni here, or people who worked oilfield who didn't
get to get a t shirt?

Indirectly, I guess. Helicopter mechanic in Morgan City, La. for a couple
years during that time. Also, Gambia, Qatar, Guyana supporting the Glomar
Sirte. I'll bet you flew on the some of the ships I kept up. No t-shirt.
