While drilling water wells in Maryland, Howard "Porky" Cutter's father had the opportunity to meet President Eisenhower.
One day during the drilling, President Eisenhower was playing golf. He came up to the drill site, introduced himself to Failing employees and asked their names. He came back a few days later, walked up to the drill site, shook everyone's hand and addressed them by name. The other employees said that my dad was so impressed he would not wash his hand for a week.
