I cooked the best meals on that platform in 1987. My bunk was right under the helipad. Good times, good memories. Bubba- keep eating those pastries.

I also worked on that platform as well as a half dozen others. I even made a platform of the monopod and gave it to Dan Hadden the former boss of it. I am looking for Richard Montgomery, thank you.

I work on this platform now, head cook, have to date also worked on the King Salmon platform. My bunk libby, is right below the helipad where the helicopter lands when it drops us off at work, and when it picks us up 2 weeks later to go home on R&R. And all the windows below shows the dining room area.

I worked on the Monopod in 1971--bullcook for Boatel, & later night cook & baker. Never met charactors to equal those guys. Gerald Borthwick, Darrel Beck, Buddy Moore--& a lot more. I'm old now, & still miss it.

Hey Gerald--have wondered about you for years. You remember a skinny little guy named Carl who worked for old Bill Grimm? Bet you're retired & kickin back. This woulda been in 1971.

I also remember when that boom broke on you - I heard the noise, but was inside and didn't see it. I did hear a few of the guys asking Gerald what happened, and he said, "You tell me. I was busy gettin outa there."

Gerald, I saw you later on a TV documentary on cold weather drilling--PBS, I think. I was back in Missouri by then, and about fell off the couch. Just one comment saying "it's like workin in a deep freeze."

I was never on the pod but saw it from the Texaco platform from 1966 to 1974, its great to find this website.
