Howard "Porky" Cutter shares how he arrived by his unique nickname.
Porky Sr. became a drilling supervisor — tool pusher — and traveled all over the eastern and central United States for many years. For myself, being the only child, traveling, moving and constantly changing schools were difficult for my education and friendships. Because of these hardships, Dad and Mom moved back to their hometown of Covington, Okla. They bought a home and gas station, later building a machine shop and naming it “Cutters Machine Shop.”
