A young man tells of his love for anything related to the drilling industry.
My favorite drill rig is the Ingersoll-Rand T4W. I always wanted a model of the T4W, so I called the toy stores I knew of to see if I could find one, and no one knew what I was talking about. When I turned 5, my wish finally came true. My friend Dean Jones of Gurvis Jones Well Drilling, Bel Air, Md., brought me a model of the T4W. He was the man that was drilling the wells behind my house and knew how much rigs meant to me. He got the model from a store called Toys for Boys in Pennsylvania. It was a very delicate model, and they are now discontinued. I played with my T4W model so much that it finally broke.
