A Great Big Hug from the Transportation Committee

But it is work; we need to recognize the speakers, taking time out of their lives to impart some of their wisdom on us, and the resort personnel who will be working hard to make sure everything is in place for each room, meal and night time activity. Without our esteemed guests and our sponsors, much of this would not be possible. As Committee members for Transportation we are asking you to please give a big hand to Southwest Airlines, United Airlines and Avis, which offered NADOA group discounts for travel to and from the resort. Maybe even take a moment to send them a message thanking them for their services. In this day and age people are quick to twitter or post on Facebook a negative comment or complaint and I am sure these parties have seen their share of negativity from time to time. I ask you to please let all of those parties that have contributed to this Institute know just how thankful we are for their accommodations and charitable services provided, as I am sure they do not realize just how much we appreciate what they have given us, the chance at the gift of knowledge. Sincerely, Allie Largent (Ethel) & Tamara Walthrop (Lucy)

The Transportation Committee is a two-lady show, complete and utter professionals through and through, (cough cough) well…maybe more like Lucy & Ethel! I would say there would be a fight over who is Lucy and who is Ethel, but for now let’s just say I will let Tamara take the cake with this one on the part of Lucy! We both work at Apache Corporation and we both have had careers in oil and gas and title industries, which span over almost 30 years each. Most of the time we have worked together; and yet somehow, we have remained best of friends for at least 15 of the years that I know of! I know you are shocked! We don’t look that old do we; we hear that ALL THE TIME! This has been a great honor working with some first- class, hardworking, individuals, and our hats are off to the other committee members! If not for all of the hard work of each member, this Institute would never succeed, so a great big sincere THANK YOU Ladies and Gents for all that you have contributed! We also need to look around us, at the beautiful scenery and the resort we were able to secure (twice!) for this Institute and be grateful for the opportunity granted to us, to attend a seminar in such majestic surroundings. And they call this work?

The Vendor Committee would like to say THANK YOU to all the Vendors that rescheduled to join us for Institute: • Energy Search Associates • Ensley Properties Inc. • Georgeson • InfoAge Inc. • NALTA • P2 Energy Solutions • PacoTech • Russell T Rudy Energy LLC • Texas File • Tri Energy Asset Management (Team) • Keane Unclaimed Property • Land Information Services • Legacy Royalties • LT Global Staffing
